Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 29 April 2004
134 Mr. Wall asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the position in regard to the provision of a new sewerage system for Athgarvan, County Kildare; if plans have been submitted to his Department by the local authority regarding the application; if provisions have been put in place for a connection from the Kilcullen Oberstown line for the area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12356/04]
View answerThe Athgarvan sewerage scheme was originally advanced through planning as an element of the upper Liffey valley regional sewerage scheme but could not proceed to construction stage in advance of the Kilcullen element of the regional scheme which has since been completed.
A preliminary report for the Athgarvan scheme was submitted by Kildare County Council in March 2001. There has been a delay in obtaining further information required by my Department in regard to the preliminary report due to a failure in communications between my Department and Kildare County Council. My Department will seek to facilitate this project as quickly as possible on receipt of the necessary information.
