Vol. 438 No. 1
82 Mr. McCormack asked the Minister for the Environment the position regarding the Caherfinisker group water scheme, County Galway, and the Lisheenkyle group water scheme, County Galway; when these schemes will be sent to tender; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Group water scheme grants and contributions from group members are unlikely to be sufficient to finance these schemes which, in consequence, may require a substantial contribution from the provision for public water and sanitary services schemes. Having regard to the high level of demand within the water and sanitary services programme, I cannot indicate when these schemes may be approved.
83 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for the Environment the status of an application for second grants for essential improvements for a scheme (details supplied) in County Limerick.
85 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for the Environment the current status of a group water scheme (details supplied) in County Limerick; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 83 and 85 together.
This scheme is under construction. Group water scheme grants of £35,100 were allocated in September, 1993, of which £26,781 has been paid to date
84 Mr. Connor asked the Minister for the Environment if his attention has been drawn to the need to provide a new sewerage scheme at Cloonfad, Ballyhaunis, County Roscommon; and if funding to commence work on the scheme will be allocated to Roscommon County Council in 1994.
A preliminary report for this scheme has been submitted by Roscommon County Council and is under examination in 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 may be made.
