Vol. 512 No. 4
143 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a sewerage and water scheme is urgently required for Dromahaire, County Leitrim, in view of the fact it is a designated area in the rural renewal scheme and has potential for further growth and development; when the funds will be allocated; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26410/99]
The north Leitrim regional water supply scheme, included in my Department's 1999 water and sewerage services investment programme as a scheme to be advanced through planning, provides for an improved water supply to the villages of Drumkeerin, Dromahaire and Manorhamilton. Contract documents for this proposal are currently under examination in my Department. It does not relate to a distribution system within the village of Dromahaire itself. However, a water distribution and sewerage scheme for Dromahaire has been included by Leitrim County Council in its priority schemes for the purpose of future investment programmes under the National Development Plan, 2000-06 and will be taken into consideration by my Department in framing future work programmes.
