Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Cullen)

The Ashbourne sewerage upgrade scheme has been included in my Department's water services investment programme 2003-2005 as a scheme to advance through planning.

I understand that Meath County Council is currently preparing a preliminary report for the scheme for submission to my Department for approval.
