Phil Hogan
Ceist:387 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the serious planning issues that cannot be resolved due to the fact that finance is required to undertake the Graiguenamanagh sewerage scheme; the reason for the two year delay in sanctioning the necessary finance; if all the necessary documentation is with his Department for a considerable period of time and that the question of a financial allocation is the only outstanding matter at this stage; if he will sanction this project to contract stage without further delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
