Revised plans for the Tully group sewerage scheme were technically cleared by my Department and copies were forwarded to Galway County Council for their approval in May 1981. Formal notification of the position has not been received from Galway County Council. However, I understand that the local health inspector has reported that the site proposed in the design is unsuitable for the discharge of effluent and that the scheme is being further examined by the council's engineering staff. The economics of the scheme will be examined when the design problems are fully resolved.
