Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government (Deputy Phil Hogan)

The Dungloe and Glenties Sewerage Schemes, which are to advance jointly, are included in the Water Services Investment Programme 2010-2012 among the list of contracts in Donegal to start in the period 2010-2012.

The schemes involve the provision of new wastewater treatment plants, pumping stations and sewers in Dungloe and Glenties.

My Department has approved the tender documents for the scheme and it is now a matter for Donegal County Council to advance the scheme through the tender process.
