Mr. Coughlan
The Donegal main drainage scheme proposal submitted to my Department by Donegal County Council provides for the preliminary treatment of effluent and its discharge to the deep sea section of Donegal Bay. In addition, the proposal includes for the provision of an interceptor sewer which will eliminate existing outfalls along the shoreline. The scheme is designed to improve the water quality in the area.
