Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 26 January 2012
141 Deputy Jim Daly asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he is in receipt of a request for funding from Cork County Council to assist with the installation of a new sewage treatment plant at Drinagh village, County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4512/12]
View answerResponsibility for drawing up proposals for the improvement or extension of existing wastewater schemes, or the provision of new wastewater schemes, rests with the local authorities who are designated as water services authorities under the Water Services Act 2007. Accordingly, any proposals are a matter for Cork County Council, the Water Services Authority for the area. No proposals have been received in my Department for the scheme referred to in the Question. The Deputy may wish to follow up on the matter directly with the Council.
