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

The Kilkee and Kilrush Sewerage Schemes are being advanced under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007 as a joint project to start construction in 2007 at an overall estimated cost of €12.19m. Clare County Council's Preliminary Report for the schemes is being examined in my Department and is being dealt with as quickly as possible.
