Written Answers. - Water and Sewerage Schemes.
Contract documents for this scheme were submitted to my Department in 1987 but have not been approved.
The scheme is second on the list of projects submitted by Donegal County Council in response to my Department's request to 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 programme for 2000 and future years under the national development plan.
