Vol. 531 No. 4
179 Mr. Foley asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government when he will reply to Kerry County Council who have applied for a letter of confirmation concerning stage two of the Castleisland sewerage scheme. [6084/01]
This scheme was 28th on the list of water and sewerage schemes submitted by Kerry 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 were taken into account in the framing of the Water Services Investment Programme 2000-02, announced last July. Given the priority afforded to the scheme by the council, the level of competing demand and the funding available, it was not possible to include it in the programme at that time.
