Amharc ar fhreagra1204 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he has received a copy of the preliminary report on the development of a sewerage scheme for the village of Creggs, County Galway; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21634/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 1172 and 1204 together.
A preliminary report for a Creggs sewerage scheme was received by my Department from Galway County Council in 1999 but has not been approved. The scheme is fourth in the list of sewerage schemes submitted by the council in response to my Department's request to local authorities in 2003 to produce updated assessments of the needs for capital works in their areas and to prioritise their proposals on the basis of the assessments. The assessments were taken into account in the framing of the water services investment programme for 2004 to 2006, which was published last May. Given the priority ranking afforded to the scheme by the council, it has not been possible to include it in the programme.
