Amharc ar fhreagraThe Kilmallock Sewerage Scheme is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007 as a scheme to commence construction in 2007.

The Council's proposals in relation to the consultants' fees and Planning Stage Budget for the scheme were received in my Department last month and are being dealt with as quickly as possible.
