View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 370 and 385 together.
The Oughterard sewerage scheme is included in my Department's water services investment programme 2004-2006 and is to commence construction in 2005. My Department is awaiting the submission by Galway County Council of a preliminary report for the scheme. The Headford sewerage scheme has also been approved for construction in the programme and my Department is awaiting submission of Galway County Council's tender recommendation for this scheme. I understand that Galway County Council is progressing the Clonbur sewerage scheme under the small public schemes measure of the devolved rural water programme.
