Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 April 2004
809 Mr. J. O’Keeffe asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the position in relation to approval and funding for the upgrading of the Bandon sewerage scheme; and when work will commence. [11664/04]
View answerThe Bandon sewerage scheme, Stage II, has been approved for construction under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2003-2005 at an estimated cost of €13.7 million.
My Department is awaiting information from Cork County Council on the council's proposals for funding those elements of the scheme, mainly flood alleviation works, that are outside the scope of the water services investment programme. On receipt of the information requested, early consideration will be given by my Department to the council's preliminary report and water pricing report for the scheme.
