Phase three of the south Westmeath regional water supply scheme, which will serve Glasson and Tubberclare, is included in my Department's water services investment programme 2003 to 2005 as a scheme to commence construction in 2005.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 539 and 540 together.

The Glasson-Ballykeeran-Coosan sewerage scheme has been approved for funding under the rural towns and villages initiative of my Department's water services investment programme 2003 to 2005. Additional information requested from Westmeath County Council regarding the preliminary report for scheme was received in my Department in February 2004. The preliminary report is now being examined in the Department and will be dealt with as quickly as possible.
