638 Mr. M. Moynihan asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the state of progress on a development (details supplied) in County Cork; if he will outline the delays in this project since the announcement of funding by his Department in 1999; and the reasons therefor.

View answerThe Kilbrin sewerage scheme has been approved for construction in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2004-2006 under the rural towns and villages initiative at an estimated cost of €1.4 million. My Department approved contract documents for the collection system in May 2004 and it is a matter for the council to advance this element of the scheme to construction.
Tender documents for the Kilbrin waste water treatment plant, which is being procured as part of a grouped design-build-operate contract that also involves a number of other locations, have been submitted to my Department by Cork County Council. The tender documents will be further considered when they have been revised by the council as requested by my Department in September 2004.
