Water and Sewerage Schemes
3:00 am
Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)
I do not have that detailed information. I have always found that when many schemes are progressing the issues that determine how fast a scheme goes forward, as we saw in the schemes in Connemara, are planning, objections, negotiations and discussions. I imagine that with a scheme such as this, if it is ready to go, it will go. It is imperative the county council sends it as quickly as possible to the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, and that the Part 8 is passed by the county council in due course. All of these are issues in the progressing of schemes. Often, it is not a question of a fixed priority; it is a question of which scheme is ready to go ahead first which depends on issues outside the control of the Department.
