258 Mr. Timmins asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the position regarding an application for funding from Wicklow County Council for upgrading the water main and the access road along which it is laid at Devil’s Glen, Ashford, County Wicklow (details supplied); if, in view of the circumstances funding can be approved as a matter of urgency; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8578/06]

Written answers

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

I understand that the pipeline works concerned were preliminary proposals being considered by Wicklow County Council in the context of the planning of the Wicklow water supply scheme, which has been approved for funding under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007. The council has since determined that the proposed upgrade is not required and has informed the landowner accordingly.
