240 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for the Environment when funds will be provided for Ballingarry Upper group water scheme in County Limerick to upgrade the existing scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
241 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for the Environment when funds will be allocated for the Tireagh Cross/Belville group water scheme in County Limerick; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 240 and 241 together.
Group scheme grants and contributions from group members are unlikely to suffice to finance these schemes which, in consequence, may require a substantial contribution from the provision for public water and sanitary services schemes. Having regard to the overall demand on that provision, I cannot say when it may be possible to approve these schemes.
242 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for the Environment the current status of the Sugar Hill Meenoline group water scheme in County Limerick; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
My Department is awaiting Limerick County Council's approval of the group's design. When this is received, the proposals will be considered further.
