Amharc ar fhreagraThe upgrading of the Kilkenny city waste water treatment plant at Purcellsinch is included in my Department's water services investment programme 2004-2006 as a scheme to commence construction in 2005 at an estimated cost of €6.2 million. My Department is currently awaiting the submission of a preliminary report and environmental impact statement for the scheme by Kilkenny County Council. To date no claim for recoupment of expenditure in respect of the scheme has been received by my Department from the council.
