Contract documents for this scheme have been submitted to my Department but given the high level of commitments under the water and sewerage programme, I cannot say when it may be possible to approve them.

Question:137 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for the Environment the current position regarding the Ballycroy water scheme, County Mayo. [2884/97]
I understand that a design for the upgrading of this scheme has been prepared by the group. As already announced, responsibility for the administration of the group schemes programme is being devolved to the local authorities, subject to existing commitments on foot of approvals issued by my Department. It will, therefore, be a matter for Mayo County Council to assess the group's proposal.
