These schemes were categorised as post-2007 requirements in the list of water services schemes submitted by Mayo County Council in response to my Department's request to local authorities in 2003 to produce updated assessments of the needs for capital works in their areas and to prioritise their proposals on the basis of the assessments. In light of the timescale envisaged for the schemes by the council, it would have been premature to consider them for inclusion in the 2004-06 programme. They will, however, be considered for future phases of the water services investment programme in accordance with the council's prevailing priorities at that stage.
