Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche)

I understand that tenders for the provision of waste water treatment facilities for Castletown-Geoghegan and five other locations were received by Meath County Council, acting as procurement authority, on 15 October 2004, and are being examined by the council. My Department has approved the funding for the project under the rural water programme.
