Ceist:249 Mr. J. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for the Environment if his attention has been drawn to the urgent need to have the group water scheme at Caheragh/Drimoleague completed; if so, the reason he has not given the approval to date; if he will now confirm that the scheme can go ahead; and if not, when he expects it can do so.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 248 and 249 together.
Having regard to the existing level of commitments under the group water scheme programme, I am not in a position to indicate when there will be a decision on the Caheragh/Drimoleague scheme.

My Department are awaiting Cork County Council's formal approval of the group's design. When this is received the proposal will be considered further.
