Question:777 Mr. T. Hayes asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if he will approve funding for a sewerage scheme for Golden, County Tipperary; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2195/02]
Written Answers. - Water and Sewerage Schemes.
This scheme was twentieth on the list of sewerage schemes submitted by South Tipperary 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 – 2002, announced in July 2000. Given the priority rating afforded to the scheme by the Council, the level of competing demand and the funding available, it has not been possible to include it in the programme.
