Jim Higgins

Question:

154 Mr. J. Higgins asked the Minister for the Environment when approval will be granted to enable the Lough Mask Scheme extension to Claremorris to go to tender in view of the fact that this matter has been with his Department for a considerable period; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for the Environment (Mr. Smith)

The results of site investigations for this scheme are now being examined by my Department. Having regard to the existing level of commitments under the water and sanitary services programme, I am not in a position to indicate when a decision on this scheme may be made.
