asked the Minister for the Environment if his attention has been drawn to complaints regarding the discharge of raw sewage into the river at Rogerstown Estuary, Rush, County Dublin; the steps, if any, he proposes to take to ensure that there is not a recurrence of this; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Written Answers. - Rush (Dublin) Sewage Discharge.

The operation and maintenance of sewerage schemes are the responsibility of the relevant local authority, in this case Dublin County Council. I understand from the council that a break in the foul sewage main in this area recently led to the discharge referred to by the Deputy and that the main has now been repaired by the council.
