Vol. 550 No. 2
405 Mrs. B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if he has received an application for funding from Kerry County Council for a sewerage scheme in Barraduff, Killarney, County Kerry; if so, the status of that application; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8234/02]
This scheme was not included in the list of water and sewerage schemes submitted by Kerry County Council in response to my Department's request to 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 priority lists were taken into account in the framing of the Water Services Investment Programme 2000-02, announced in July 2000. Given that the scheme was not listed as a priority by the council, it has not been possible to include it in the programme.
