Question:206 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the position with the Belmullet sewerage scheme; and when funding will be sanctioned for this project. [11396/00]
Written Answers. - Water and Sewerage Schemes.
A brief for the Belmullet sewerage scheme was received in my Department in 1992 but has not been approved. The scheme is tenth on the list of sewerage schemes submitted by Mayo County Council in response to my Department's request to local authorities to undertake fresh assessments of the needs for capital works in their areas and to prioritise their proposals on the basis of the assessments. The priority lists will be taken into account in the framing of water services investment programmes for this and future years under the National Development Plan 2000-2006.
