asked the Minister for Local Government if he is aware of the urgent need for the extension of the sewerage scheme at Charlestown, County Mayo, with particular reference to the extension on the Kilmovee, Kilkelly road; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
I understand from Mayo County Council that revised contract documents for the Charlestown/Bellaghy scheme are in course of preparation. The technical details for the extension referred to by the Deputy were approved in August, 1966, subject to the length of the sewer being reduced to 190 yards.
Would the Minister take steps to ensure that this extension is undertaken as early as possible? This has been hanging fire for a long number of years, and the people resident there are seriously inconvenienced.
It cannot be undertaken without the contract documents being prepared.
