Amharc ar fhreagraThe Ennis Clarecastle Sewerage Scheme was included for funding under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009. My Department is currently examining Clare County Council's Brief to appoint consultants to review the design of the scheme. A decision will be conveyed to the Council as soon as possible in light of the finalisation of the Water Services Investment Programme for the period 2010 to 2012.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe 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.
