Amharc ar fhreagraFinuge Village is part of Phase 1 of the Kerry Villages Waste Water which is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007 as a scheme to commence construction in 2007. My Department is currently awaiting submission by Kerry County Council of a Preliminary Report for the scheme. However, I understand that the Council is also developing a countywide strategy to optimise the delivery of wastewater services to up to 28 villages, including Finuge. Any proposals emerging from the strategy will be considered as quickly as possible by my Department.
