Vol. 522 No. 2
308 Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the proposals, if any, he has in relation to the public sewerage scheme to Pinewood, Monang, in Abbeyside, Dungarvan, County Waterford; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18293/00]
I understand that the area in question is to be served by the Dungarvan sewerage scheme. Approval issued to Waterford County Council in October 1999 for the appointment of consultants to prepare contract documents for this scheme.
309 Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the current position regarding the west Waterford regional water supply scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18294/00]
This scheme is included in the list of projects submitted by Waterford County Council in response to my Department's request for local authorities to undertake fresh assessments of the needs for capital works in their areas and to prioritise their proposals on the basis of the assessments. The council has not prioritised individual schemes as required. Its list will, however, be taken into account in the framing of water services investment under the National Development Plan 2000-2006. I hope to announce a three year investment programme for the years 2000 to 2002 within the next few weeks.
