The Ballyvaughan, Corofin and Doolin Sewerage Scheme was included for funding in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009. Work has commenced on a new wastewater treatment plant and the upgrade of the existing collection network for Corofin. I understand that Clare County Council is advancing the planning of the Ballyvaughan and Doolin elements of the Scheme with the view to drafting contract documents for those elements in due course. Further progress on Ballyvaughan and Doolin awaits the finalisation of the Water Services Investment Programme for the period 2010 to 2012. I expect to publish the new Programme shortly.
