Edward Nealon
Question:152 Mr. Nealon asked the Minister for the Environment in view of circular L1/97 of 21 January 1997, from his Department, if the question of funding for Lurganboy sewerage scheme, Manorhamilton, County Leitrim, has been devolved to Leitrim County Council; the proportion of the £50 million being made available in 1997 in block grant form to local authorities in respect of small public water and sewerage schemes and to Leitrim County Council; if he will bring these matters to the attention of local authorities when they are drawing up their priority lists in view of the fact that the contract documents for the extension have been in the possession of his Department for some time and this has been an issue since the 1960s; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
