647 Mr. Walsh asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if sanction will be given for the commencement of work on the extension of the Innishannon water supply schemes (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30174/04]
View answerThe Innishannon, Ballinadee-Ballinspittle-Garretstown, water supply scheme has been approved for funding in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2004-2006 under the rural towns and villages initiative, at an estimated cost of €6.4 million.
My Department has approved Cork County Council's revised preliminary report for the Innishannon water supply scheme, which will serve Ballinadee, Ballinspittle, Garretstown and Kilbrittain. It is now a matter for the council to prepare contract documents. Following receipt and approval of the contract documents by my Department, the council will be in a position to invite tenders for the scheme.
