Vol. 513 No. 1
107 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the position regarding stage four of the north east Kerry regional water scheme; if all documentation is ready to enable the scheme to go to tender; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1453/00]
Contract documents for stage 4 of the north east Kerry water supply scheme were submitted to my Department in 1991 but have not been approved. This scheme is first on the list of projects submitted by Kerry County Council in response to my Department's request for local authorities to undertake fresh assessments of the needs for capital works in their areas and to prioritise their proposals on the basis of the assessments. The priority lists will be taken into account in the framing of water services investment programmes for this and future years under the national development plan 2000-06.
