Ceist:

Minister of State at the Department of Finance (Mr. Parlon)

The canal in question does not form part of any Drainage Scheme for which the Commissioners of Public Works have a maintenance responsibility under the Arterial Drainage Act, 1945. The Office of Public Works will not, therefore, be carrying out any works on the waterway.
