The Athea, Askeaton, Foynes, Glin and Shanagolden Sewerage Scheme is included as a grouped project to start construction in 2009 in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009. My Department is awaiting submission of Limerick County Council's Preliminary Report for the project.
The Mungret and Kilmallock Sewerage Schemes and the combined Adare and Patrickswell Scheme are all included in the Investment Programme to begin construction next year. My Department approved grant assistance of over €1.5m towards the Mungret Sewerage Scheme in September 2006 and further progress is now a matter for the Council. The Council's funding proposals for the Kilmallock Scheme will be further considered on receipt of additional information requested by my Department in July 2007.
The Council has recently submitted proposals to my Department to proceed separately with the Patrickswell element of the Adare and Patrickswell Scheme because of potential delays with land acquisition in Adare. The proposals are being examined and will be dealt with as quickly as possible.
