57 Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if approval will issue in the near future for the Strandhill sewerage scheme, County Sligo. [11591/11]
View answerThe Grange/Strandhill/Tubbercurry Sewerage Scheme (Wastewater Treatment Plants Upgrade contract) is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2010-2012 as a contract to start during the lifetime of the Programme.
Under this scheme it is envisaged that wastewater treatment plants will be constructed at these three locations under a single Design/Build/Operate contract. Funding for this contract has been approved in principle, subject to the submission by Sligo County Council of some additional information. This information, which was received in my Department in April, is under examination at present and a decision will be made in the near future.
