Written Answers - Water and Sewerage Schemes.

Enda Kenny

Ceist:

238 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if arrangements will be made to provide funding for a sewerage scheme at Turlough, Castlebar, County Mayo, in view of the major developments taking place at Turlough Park House for the housing of the national folklife collection; if funding will be available for construction of the sewerage scheme in 1999 in view of the urgency of the matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3538/99]

The brief and preliminary reports for this scheme were submitted to my Department in 1991 and 1993, respectively, but have not been approved. As the scheme is not included in the 1999 water and sewerage services investment programme, it comes within the terms of my Department's Circular letter L9/98 of 22 October 1998. This circular asked each local authority to undertake a fresh assessment of the needs for capital works in its area and to prepare a prioritised list of projects based on the assessment. The priority lists will be taken into consideration by my Department in framing future water and sewerage services investment programmes under the next National Development Plan 2000-2006.
