Mr. Blythe: Petitions were lodged for three proposed drainage districts in this area, viz., the Nenagh River, Currabaha and Gurtagarry. The proposals were investigated by engineers and land valuers of the Office of Public Works and on consideration of their reports it has been found desirable to combine the three proposals into one. The county council have agreed in principle to make a contribution towards the cost of the proposed joint scheme. A detailed survey has now to be made with a view to the preparation of a scheme. At the [741] present stage it is not possible to state when a commencement can be made with the works.

Mr. Morrissey Mr. Morrissey

Mr. Burke Mr. Burke
