The objectives of the design build operate schemes may not be fully understood by every local authority. Many small schemes could now start under the Minister's initiative. However, I see problems if these schemes are part of a bundle and cost more than €5 million. We can surely proceed with either the treatment section or the collection system without having to wait for the other to proceed. There are schemes in Galway from Dunmore and Kilkerrin in north Galway out to Carna and Carraroe in west Galway. There are difficulties in trying to have a DBO scheme in that bundle.
