Ceist:

540 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the Ministerial order he has given for the allocation of funding for a new sewerage system for Grange as the present system is overloaded and has now reached crisis point and is unable to cater for the present growth with serious health and safety issues; when it will commence; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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

The Grange Sewerage Scheme has been approved for funding of €0.7m under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007 as part of the Serviced Land Initiative. It is being procured as a grouped project jointly with schemes for Tubbercurry and Strandhill.

I approved Sligo County Council's Preliminary Report for the grouped project in April last.
