asked the Minister for the Environment when finance will be allocated to Westmeath County Council for the provision of a sewerage scheme at Tyrrellspass, Mullingar, County Westmeath.
The local authority's proposals for this scheme must be considered in the context of the amount of capital available for water and sewerage schemes and the number of such schemes in or getting to construction at the present time. I cannot say at this stage when I will be in a position to approve this scheme, contract documents for which are under consideration in my Department. It is only when the scheme has been fully approved that the question of finance for its construction will arise.
