Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 February 2013
445. Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the status of the provision of a sewerage scheme for Killala, County Mayo; if he will prioritise the funding of this scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6609/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013, a copy of which is available in the Oireachtas Library, provides for the development of a comprehensive range of new water services infrastructure in County Mayo. The Killala Sewerage Scheme is included in the Programme amongst the list of contracts in the county to start in the period 2010 – 2013. The inclusion of the scheme in the current Water Services Investment Programme reflects the importance attached to this scheme by my Department.
I understand from Mayo County Council that a Design Review Report, which is an update of the original Preliminary Report for the Killala Sewerage Scheme, is being prepared by the Council. Once the report is submitted to and approved by my Department, the Council can then proceed with the preparation of Contract Documents for the scheme.
