The Envireg Operational Programme for Ireland has recently been adopted by the EC Commission which is providing total aid of 28 MECU (£21.5 million) covering the period from November 1990 to December 1993.
The programme will be published shortly. It will provide funding for urban waste water treatment in a number of coastal areas, related technical assistance to improve implementation, and assistance for studies on the re-use of sewage sludge; there is also a conditional provision in respect of a national hazardous waste incinerator. Just over £1 million has been received to date from Structural Funds in respect of co-financed sewerage schemes in progress under this programme.
