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

An application for funding under the water services investment programme 2004-06 has been submitted to my Department by Waterford County Council in respect of proposals to upgrade to a number of storm water overflows as part of the ongoing Tramore sewerage scheme. The proposals are being examined in the Department and will be dealt with as quickly as possible.
