Written answers

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

The Killybegs Sewerage Scheme is approved for funding under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 20050-2007 at an estimated cost of €18m.

I approved Donegal County Council's Preliminary Report for the scheme in November 2006. The wastewater treatment plant for Killybegs will be procured under a single Design/Build/Operate contract that also includes Bundoran, while the collection system and outfall will be procured under a separate traditional style contract. My Department is awaiting the submission of Contract Documents by Donegal County Council for both elements of the scheme.
