Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

The Portrane/Donabate/Rush/Lusk Sewerage Scheme is included in my Department’s Water Services Investment Programme (WSIP) 2010 – 2013, with some elements to advance to construction and others to advance through planning during the lifetime of the Programme.

Fingal County Council made a submission to my Department in February 2013 relating to the priority assigned in the WSIP to the Rush element of the scheme. The reply to Question No. 176 of 28 February 2013 stated that this request from the Council is under consideration in my Department. A decision will issue to the Council before the end of this month.
