Ceist:135 Miss Coughlan asked the Minister for the Environment the present position with regard to a new water scheme for Ballyshannon, County Donegal. [7435/95]
Written Answers. - Water Schemes.
Contract documents for this scheme were submitted to my Department some time ago. Given the high level of demand under the water and sewerage programme, I cannot say when it may be possible to approve them.

Ceist:136 Mr. Lawlor asked the Minister for the Environment if he has given approval to the two schemes for water supply monitoring and waste control submitted to him by South Dublin County Council; his views on whether there is a need for these schemes; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Dublin Water Strategy Study commissioned by my Department with Cohesion Fund assistance, at a cost of some £500,000, is now under way. This study will address water monitoring and conservation requirements, as well as future investment priorities for water supply and distribution, for the entire Dublin region including South Dublin County.
Pending completion of the strategy study, which I expect by early 1996, it would not be appropriate to approve the proposals referred to in the question.
