438 Deputy Deirdre Clune asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the support he will provide to Cork County Council to proceed with the lower harbour sewerage scheme in County Cork; the funding available for this project; if the project is a priority; the estimated cost of this project to his Department and Cork County Council; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20068/10]
View answerThe Cork Lower Harbour Sewerage Scheme is amongst the schemes included in the recently published Water Services Investment Programme 2010-2012, for progression through planning in the period covered by the programme. A copy of the Programme is available in the Oireachtas Library. The most recent estimated cost of the scheme is over €70 million. However, its precise scope, phasing and cost will be determined during the planning phase and this cost will be apportioned, in accordance with Water Pricing Policy arrangements, between my Department and Cork County Council.
