794 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government when funding will be approved for a sewerage scheme (details supplied) in County Roscommon in view of the fact that the proposals are currently with his Department and delays in approval of funding will directly impact on the utilisation of the rural renewal scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1278/01]
A revised brief for the expansion of the Ballyleague sewerage scheme was received in my Department last November, but has not been approved. The scheme is included in the list of water and sewerage schemes submitted by Roscommon County Council in response to my Department's request to local authorities to undertake a fresh assessment of the needs for capital works in their areas and to prioritise their proposals on the basis of the assessments.
In view of the level of competing demand and the need to prioritise individual proposals on a national basis, it was not possible to include all schemes proposed by local authorities in the water services investment programme, 2000-02, announced last July. However, this was the first phase of a rolling programme that will continue up to the end of the current national development plan in 2006. Further schemes will be added to the programme on an annual basis during that period. The Ballyleague scheme will continue to be considered in that context.
