asked the Minister for Local Government whether he will expedite sanction for (a) the extension of the Castlemartyr main sewer for 300 yards to provide service for houses on the Youghal road, Castlemartyr; and (b) the provision of a water scheme at Ballinamona, Shanagany, County Cork.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Cork Sewerage and Water Scheme.
No proposals for the works referred to by the Deputy have been submitted by the local authority for my approval.
Is the Minister aware that there are approximately 20 county council houses within 300 yards of the main sewer in Castlemartyr which have not yet been provided with flush lavatories? That position has existed for the past 16 years. Will the Minister take steps to ensure that the local authority will expedite the provision of proper drainage and water?
Nothing has been received by my Department with regard to this project. It was not mentioned in any of the post-emergency schemes prepared by the county council.
