493 Deputy Seymour Crawford asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the position regarding the Castleblayney sewerage scheme programme; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that there are ongoing problems with the present sewage collection system and that there is a need for an upgrade of both the sewerage plant and collection system; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32218/08]
View answerThe Castleblayney Sewerage Scheme, which is being advanced as a grouped project with Ballybay and Clones, is approved for funding under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009 at an overall estimated cost of €12m.
My Department is awaiting Preliminary Reports from Monaghan County Council for the three locations. I understand that the Council is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement in respect of the Castleblaney element of the project.
