Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 November 2013
669. Deputy Anthony Lawlor asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the position regarding funding of the Balyna regional water scheme in north-west Kildare; when it is proposed to commence the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46152/13]
View answerThere are no proposals in my Department’s Water Services Investment Programme 2010 - 2013 that would facilitate the provision of a water supply to the Ballyna Group Water Scheme. However, under the Programme, it was open to water services authorities, in certain circumstances, to make an application to have new proposals inserted into the Programme. Kildare County Council has made an application to my Department which might enable the Ballyna area to be served with a supply. Additional information in connection with this proposal is awaited from Kildare County Council.
