Vol. 474 No. 2
58 Mr. Aylward asked the Minister for the Environment when the submission made to his Department by Kilkenny County Council for the approval of a group sewerage scheme at Drakelands, Kilkenny will be considered; and the progress, if any, made to date on this scheme. [2702/97]
As already announced, responsibility for the operation of group schemes is being devolved to the local authorities, subject to existing commitments on foot of approvals issued by my Department. Where schemes have not yet been approved, including the Drakelands scheme, it will be a matter for the relevant local authorities to decide on grant applications.
