Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 January 2014
470. Deputy Michael Colreavy asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the current status of the Tubbercurry-Strandhill-Grange bundled sewerage schemes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2789/14]
View answerThe Grange/Strandhill/Tubbercurry Sewerage Scheme (Wastewater Treatment Plants Upgrades) was included in my Department’s Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013 as a contract to start at an estimated cost of €10.8 million.
My Department approved the Design Review Report for this Scheme in August 2013. However, the scheme had not progressed to the next stage prior to the transfer of responsibility for the delivery of water services capital infrastructure to Irish Water on 1 January 2014. Irish Water is currently preparing its Capital Investment Plan for 2014 – 2016 and this will provide for the transition of projects which were included in my Department’s 2010 - 2013 Water Services Investment Programme.
