Written Answers. - Water and Sewerage Schemes.

Paddy McHugh

Ceist:

270 Mr. McHugh asked the Minister for the Environment Heritage and Local Government when a grant of ?7.8 million will be awarded to enable Gort Regional Group Water Scheme to proceed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17949/03]

The Gort Regional Water Supply Scheme is included in my Department's water services investment programme for 2002 to 2004. Its cost is estimated to be €9.5 million and construction will commence in 2004. My Department is awaiting the submission of a revised preliminary report for the scheme by Galway County Council. To alleviate the most severe supply problems in the town, I approved the council's proposal to invite tenders for an advance section of the scheme last March.
