Edward Nealon

Question:

147 Mr. Nealon asked the Minister for the Environment the current position regarding the proposed sewerage scheme for Monasteraden, County Sligo, for which proposals and all other relevant documentation have been submitted by Sligo County Council to his Department; if it is intended that the necessary sanction and funding for the scheme will be provided in the near future; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11668/96]

Minister for the Environment (Mr. Howlin)

A revised preliminary report for this scheme is in my Department for consideration. Due to the high level of commitments under the water and sewerage programme and the demands for new schemes already prioritised for investment. I cannot say when funding will be available for the Monasteraden scheme.
