asked the Minister for Local Government if he is satisfied in view of the further increased cost of providing water and sewerage services for the new convent school at Milford, County Donegal, that services will be provided in good time for the opening of this school.
A preliminary proposal for additional works in connection with the provision of services to the convent at Milford was received in my Department from Donegal County Council yesterday. This proposal will be examined when the relevant technical documents which, I understand, are being prepared by the county council, have been received. It is not possible to say what effect this proposal will have on the completion date for the scheme, until the documents in question have been received and examined.
