I welcome, in particular, the investment to be made in the Loughrea regional water scheme which, for the first time in 30 years, will bring closer to the people of Kilreekil a basic civil right. I hope that in the near future they will have a water scheme for the village as a result of the development of infrastructure under the Lougrea regional water scheme. I also welcome the investment to be made in the Ballinasloe scheme and the Kinvara sewerage scheme. At last, the wonderful Kinvara Bay will have the scheme for which we have campaigned so strongly for many years. There will also be investment in the Athenry, Ballygar and Mountbellew sewerage schemes. This is a significant announcement and I urge Irish water to proceed with the work and development of these schemes in the shortest time possible.
