I am aware of the necessity for a water supply and sewerage scheme for Ballintogher. I approved contract documents for a temporary water supply for the village last month. A permanent supply is envisaged in proposals for a regional scheme which is at an advanced stage of planning.
In January last I approved of the appointment of a consulting engineer for a sewerage scheme. I understand that a preliminary report has been prepared and is at present being examined by the council's technical advisers.
