CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - BLACKWATER DRAINAGE SCHEME (CO. MEATH).

Mr. M. O'REILLY Mr. M. O'REILLY

1508

Mr. M. O'REILLY asked the Minister for Finance whether he will state what has become of the scheme for the drainage of the Blackwater, Co. Meath, [1508] and whether he is aware of the deplorable conditions prevailing in the vicinity for want of drainage.

PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to MINISTER for FINANCE (Mr. Bourke) Seamus Aloysius Bourke

PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to MINISTER for FINANCE (Mr. Bourke): The Commissioners of Public Works have received a petition under the Arterial Drainage Act, 1925, in respect of the portion of the Blackwater River from a point immediately below Headfort Bridge for a distance of about 3½ miles down stream. This scheme has been examined by the Commissioners' engineer. From his report the scheme appears to be too expensive to be carried out, as it would cost about £35 for each acre of land improved. The Commissioners are considering whether any alternative scheme can be suggested.
