View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 921 and 957 together.
The Mayo Towns and Villages Sewerage Scheme, which includes Ballyheane, Charlestown, Cross, Crossboyne and the Neale, is approved for funding in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007 at an estimated cost of €6.07m.
My Department is awaiting a Preliminary Report from Mayo County Council for the Charlestown element of the scheme. Further consideration will be given to the Council's Preliminary Report for the other locations, which includes proposals to pump wastewater from Crossboyne to the existing Claremorris Wastewater Treatment Plant, on receipt of additional information recently requested by my Department.
