Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 May 2011
90 Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will bring forward emergency funding for Fingal County Council to replace the watermain from Hollywood reservoir to the Naul, County Dublin, as a matter of urgency in view of the repeated outages that have left the area without water on an ongoing basis.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe Hollywood to Naul pipeline is not approved for funding as a contract to start under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2010-2012.
A Water Services Authority may, at its own expense, carry out planning and/or construction works on contracts or schemes not included in the Programme, which the Authority feels must be progressed. In this regard, I understand that Fingal County Council is proceeding with the construction of this pipeline and that work is expected to be completed within the next two to three months.
