Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 April 2004
783 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the reason contract documents for the Shanganagh/Bray main drainage scheme Corke Abbey pumping station scheme, which were submitted to his Department by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council in June 2003, have still not been approved; when this scheme will be approved; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11327/04]
View answerThe Corke Abbey pumping station is an element of the Shanganagh sewerage scheme which is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2003-2005 to commence construction this year.
The contract documents for the pumping station are under examination in my Department and will be dealt with as soon as possible. The timescale generally for examination of contract documents in the Department is dictated by the competing demands arising from the large volume of schemes included in the water services investment programme and the scheduling of individual schemes within the overall programme.
