Vol. 501 No. 4
113 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the proposals, if any, he has to provide adequate water and sewerage facilities at Knock Airport, County Mayo; if his attention has been drawn to the importance of this scheme for proper expansion and development at the airport; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6381/99]
An outline pro posal, relating to funding for the provision of water and sewerage services for an industrial park development at Knock International Airport was received from Mayo County Council last August but has not been approved. As the scheme is not included in the 1999 water and sewerage services investment programme, it 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 2000-2006.
