No proposals for the provision of water supplies for Ballysimon or Doon have been submitted to my Department by Limerick County Council. A preliminary report for Kilbehenny water supply scheme was received in my Department on 19th May and is at present being examined. I am not in a position to say when work on these schemes will commence.

asked the Minister for Local Government whether it is a fact that Waterford County Council have recently changed their policy in regard to the provision of piped water supplies in certain areas in West Waterford; if so, what areas will be affected, and what alternative proposals the county council have instead of the proposed piped water supply; and what stage had been reached in the proposed provision of piped water supplies and what cost had already been incurred prior to the council's change of policy.
I am not so aware, but I have asked Waterford County Council for a full report. I shall inform the Deputy in due course of the outcome.
