Written Answers. - Water and Sewerage Schemes.
A revised preliminary report for phase 5 of the Buncrana sewerage scheme, which includes Aghilly, was received in my Department in 1993 but has not been approved. The scheme was included in the list of water and sewerage schemes submitted by Donegal 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. However, because 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.
