I propose to take Questions Nos. 369 and 370 together.

A preliminary report for Creggs sewerage scheme was submitted to my Department by Galway County Council in 1999 but has not been approved.

The scheme was seventeenth on the list of sewerage schemes submitted by Galway County Council in response to my Department's request to local authorities in 1998 to undertake a five yearly assessment of the needs for capital water services works in their areas and to prioritise their proposals on the basis of the assessment. Given the rating afforded to the scheme by the council at that time it has not been possible to include it in the water services investment programme. The scheme is fourth in the most recent priority list of sewerage schemes furnished by Galway County Council last December in response to my Department's request to all local authorities in 2003 to produce updated assessments of needs. This latest assessment will be taken into account in the framing of the next phase of the water services investment programme in due course.
