...ditch. All in good time it will have trickled full, probably by next October. Then President Cosgrave will open other sluices at the farther end of the ditch where a new $15,000,000 hydro-electric power plant is now almost complete. As ditch water gushes through turbines, enough electric power will be made to light every home and hut in the Irish Free State...
