Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 April 2012
829 Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the position regarding approval, tender and construction of a waste water collection system for a location (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18209/12]
View answerThe Water Services Investment Programme 2010-2013 provides for the development of a comprehensive range of new water services infrastructure in County Kildare. Two contracts for the Kildare Sewerage Scheme are included in the Programme amongst the list of contracts in the county to start in the period 2010-2013.
The Wastewater Treatment Plant Design/Build/Operate contract for the Kildare Sewerage Scheme is currently at construction. Additional information is awaited from Kildare County Council to enable my Department to fully examine Contract Documents for the main sewer network contract. However, my Department has approved one small advance works contract for the sewer network and a further such proposal is under consideration in my Department at present. A decision on this proposal will be made as soon as possible.
