The Listowel town water supply upgrade scheme is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007 as a scheme to commence construction in 2007.

Kerry County Council's design review report for the scheme is under examination in my Department and is being dealt with as quickly as possible. Following approval of the design review report the council will be in a position to prepare contract documents for the scheme.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 351 to 366, inclusive, together.

Funding has been allocated under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007 to enable Kerry County Council to undertake a preliminary assessment of proposals to upgrade wastewater treatment facilities at a number of locations throughout the county.

I understand that Kerry County Council has appointed consultants to draw up preliminary reports for 28 towns and villages, including the 16 locations referred to in the question. Five of these locations, Asdee, Aughacasla, Boolteens, Brandon and Finuge, have already been approved for construction in the water services investment programme as part of the Kerry villages wastewater project phase 1. Consideration will be given by my Department to the approval of the remaining schemes when the preliminary reports are submitted by the council for approval.
