Question:81 Mr. Dempsey asked the Minister for the Environment the plans, if any, he has to grant assistance for a group sewerage scheme for Kilbrin, County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7763/97]
Written Answers. - Water and Sewerage Schemes.
There is no record in my Department of a proposal for a group sewerage scheme at this location. 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 in future be a matter for the local authorities to decide on grant applications.

Question:82 Mr. Dempsey asked the Minister for the Environment the plans, if any, he has to provide and extend water storage and supply facilities to Fermoy, County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7764/97]
Contract documents for the Fermoy water supply 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.
