asked the Minister for the Environment the present position in regard to Cullentragh group water scheme, Mountnugent, County Meath.
The position regarding the Cullentragh, Mountnugent, group water scheme, is that grants were allocated to the group in July 1979 in respect of five domestic and three farm connections.
Work never commenced on the scheme, however, and the group informed the Department recently that the scheme is being re-organised to cater for three members only. Thr group have been advised to seek quotations for materials and labour to cater for a smaller scheme and to forward these to my Department as soon as possible. They were also advised to have the design revised accordingly.
