A draft combined brief for these and a number of other schemes was submitted to my Department by Roscommon County Council in August 2001 but has not been approved. The Elphin, Frenchpark, and Ballinlough schemes were included as long-term objectives – 2006-2026 – in the list of water and sewerage schemes submitted by Roscommon County Council in response to my Department's request to local authorities to undertake a fresh assessment of the needs for capital works in their areas and to prioritise their proposals on the basis of the assessments. The priority lists were taken into account in the framing of the water services investment programme 2000-2002, announced in July 2000. Given the priority rating afforded to the schemes by the council, the level of competing demand and the funding available, it has not been possible to approve the schemes under the programme. The other schemes to which the Deputy referred were not listed in the council's assessment and, therefore, were not considered for inclusion in the programme.
