Question:55 Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for the Environment the reason for the delay by his Department in relation to the Nenagh regional water supply scheme; whether the comprehensive report on tenders by the county council's engineers and consulting engineers, which was submitted to his Department in March 1991, has yet been presented to him for financial allocation; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that this delay will cause (1) a 15 per cent increase in the cost to the taxpayer and (2) continuous problems in the water supplies of the Tipperary North Riding Area; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
