785 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he has received a request to provide funding to upgrade the water supply in Youghal and to upgrade the pipe network in the town; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that water has been turned off during July and August 2005 in Youghal, County Cork, at night; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28646/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Youghal water supply scheme was eleventh in the list of water and sewerage schemes for the 2007-12 period that was submitted by Cork County Council for its southern division in response to the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government's request to all local authorities to undertake fresh assessments of the need 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 2004-06, which was published in May 2004. Given the rating afforded to the scheme by the council, it was not possible to include it in the programme.
