asked the Minister for the Environment when he is likely to be in a position to give sanction for the extension of water supply from Abbeyfeale to Templeglantine, having regard to the fact that the county council propose to build 12 local authority houses in the parish of Templeglantine but cannot do so until water supply is provided.
Following technical examination of the contract documents for the extension of the Abbeyfeale water supply scheme to Athea and rural areas including Templeglantine which were submitted to my Department, Limerick County Council were asked to submit amended documents based on amendments agreed between my Department's engineering inspector and the council's consulting engineer. The submission of the amended documents is awaited in my Department.
