Vol. 534 No. 3
213 Mrs. B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if he will provide immediate funding for the provision of a sewerage scheme for Barraduff village, County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10580/01]
This scheme was not included 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 a fresh assessment 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 that the scheme was not included in the list of priority schemes submitted by the council, it was not included in the programme. It would be open to the council to consider advanc ing the scheme under the devolved rural water programme.
