View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 550 and 552 together.
The Doneraile sewerage scheme has been approved for funding in my Department's water services investment programme, 2004-2006, under the rural towns and villages initiative. The approval incorporates Exchequer funding at the serviced land initiative rate of 40% for sewer extensions to Skaghardgannon and Brough Cross.
I recently approved the acceptance by Cork County Council of the tender for the civil works associated with the collection system for the scheme. Additional information required by my Department to facilitate consideration of the tender documents for the wastewater treatment plant, which is being procured as part of a grouped design/build/operate contract that also includes Kilbrin and Buttevant, has recently been received from the council and is under examination.
