The Commissioners of Public Works have not received a request for payment of the money in question, which is a contribution towards the cost of works proposed to be undertaken by the River Suck Joint Drainage District Committee.

The work which is the subject of the contribution has not been undertaken as far as the Commissioners are aware and the conditions attaching to the making of a contribution have not been met.

Payment of the contribution will be subject to the proposers of the scheme fulfilling all the conditions attached to the offer. No formal date for expiry of the offer has been set but it cannot be held open indefinitely.
