Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 December 2006
518 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if the Labasheeda and Carrigaholt sewerage schemes in County Clare will be fast tracked in view of the fact that Cooraclare, which had been bundled with those schemes, has been given to go-ahead; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41162/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraI recently approved Clare County Council's proposals to advance the works for Cooraclare independently of the other two locations included in the Carrigaholt/Labasheeda/Cooraclare Sewerage Scheme which was scheduled to commence construction in 2007 in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007.
My Department is awaiting submission of an Economic Review and revised Water Services Pricing Policy Report from Clare County Council for Carrigaholt and Labasheeda.
519 Dr. Cowley asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if his Department will provide copies of all the records it holds regarding the Castleconnor group water scheme in west Sligo; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41171/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraI refer to the replies to Question No. 257 of 2 November 2006, and to Question No. 575 of 21 November 2006, in which I indicated that my Department has received no recent correspondence or representations in relation to this scheme.
The only records in my Department relate to payment of grants for the construction of the scheme in the early 1990s prior to the devolution of responsibility for the Rural Water Programme to the local authorities.
