Written Answers. - County Tipperary Water/Sewerage Schemes.

Theresa Ahearn

Ceist:

175 Mrs. T. Ahearn asked the Minister for the Environment if he has received an application for funding for a water scheme in Hollyford, County Tipperary; if so, when this application will be approved; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for the Environment (Mr. M. Smith)

An application for this scheme has been received. However, group water scheme grants and contributions from group members are unlikely to suffice for its financing, 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 this scheme.
