asked the Minister for Local Government when a special water and sewerage scheme for Windtown, Navan, County Meath, was received by his Department from Meath County Council; and when it is proposed to sanction it.
As I indicated in my reply to Question No. 84 of the 23rd October, 1969, I have already approved preliminary proposals for stage 1 of An Uaimh and mid-Meath regional water supply scheme, which includes an extension to Windtown. I am advised, however, that it would not be feasible to carry out the Windtown extension until such time as a new trunk main is laid from Kilcarne works to the town. This main is to be constructed as part of An Uaimh urban district council water supply improvement scheme. Contract documents for that work are at present under consideration in my Department and I hope to convey a decision thereon shortly.
