173 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the Government's projected spend on sewage treatment over the next three, five and ten years. [11100/01]
The national development plan provides for expenditure of £2.4 billion on major water and waste water schemes during the period 2000 to 2006. Last July I published the water services investment programme, 2000-02, which sets out my Department's investment strategy for waste water facilities for those years. A copy is available in the Oireachtas Library. This is the first phase of a three year programme that will be rolled forward on an annual basis up to the end of the NDP in 2006.
