Question:155 Mr. McGinley asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the position regarding the proposed sewerage scheme for Burtonport, County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5481/99]
Written Answers. - Water and Sewerage Schemes.
Contract documents for the Burtonport sewerage scheme were approved in 1984. The scheme is not included in the 1999 water and sewerage services investment programme but comes within the terms of my Department's Circular letter L9/98 of 22 October 1998. This circular asked each local authority to undertake a fresh assessment of the needs for capital works in its area and to prepare a prioritised list of projects based on the assessment. The priority lists will be taken into consideration by my Department in framing future water and sewerage services investment programmes under the next National Development Plan 2000-06.
