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

The Terryglass sewerage scheme is being procured by way of a grouped design, build, operate contract that also includes six other schemes in County Tipperary.

I understand that tenders for the grouped project were received by North Tipperary County Council on 21 January last and that the tenders are under examination by the council prior to submission to my Department for approval.
