Question:

353 Mr. McCormack asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the position regarding the provision of a sewerage treatment plant for Headford, County Galway; when work will start on this much needed facility for the town; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25105/00]

Minister for the Environment and Local Government (Mr. Dempsey)

I understand Galway County Council is currently arranging for investigations with a view to submitting revised contract documents for this scheme to my Department.

The scheme is included in the Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2000-2002 to advance through planning. This is the first phase of a rolling three-year programme that will continue up the end of the National Development Plan in 2006. Consideration will be given to further progressing the scheme in that context.
