asked the Minister for the Environment when Meath County Council's proposal for a sewerage scheme at Summerhill, County Meath, was received in his Department and when sanction will be given.
Working drawings for a sewerage scheme to serve the village of Summerhill submitted by Meath County Council on 31 January 1977 are under consideration in my Department. This scheme must be considered in the context of the amount of capital available for water and sewerage schemes, the large number of such schemes in progress or getting to construction at the present time and the need to conserve capital for schemes of the highest priority. I cannot say when I will be in a position to convey a decision thereon to the local authority.
