The completion of the Boherbue water supply scheme is a matter between the sanitary authority and the contractors. I understand that the pumping plant was recently delivered to the site.
asked the Minister for Local Government if his Department has yet received an application for sanction for a regional water supply for Freemount, Dressine, Newtown-Shandrum, Liscarroll and Churchtown, County Cork; and, if so, when sanction will be given.
Sanction has not been sought for a regional scheme for the area mentioned. I understand that the regional proposal was abandoned because of the difficulty in finding a reliable source.
