Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 April 2012
869 Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if further consideration can be given to the provision of funds for the extension of the local sewerage scheme to Cummeen, Strandhill, County Sligo (details supplied). [18724/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Sligo and Environs Sewerage Scheme, which includes the extension to Cummeen, is included as a scheme at planning in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2010-2013.
My Department wrote to Sligo County Council in July 2011 advising that the Design Review Report for the scheme could not be considered further until such time as the Council completed a Local Area Plan for the Cummeen area which would provide a clearer basis for determining the nature and scale of water services infrastructure that may be required for the area.
I understand from Sligo County Council that there are currently no proposals to extend the development limits of the Sligo and Environs development plan at this time to include all of the Cummeen area.
