The Innishannon, Ballinadee-Ballinspittle-Garretstown, water supply scheme has been approved for funding in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2004-2006 under the rural towns and villages initiative, at an estimated cost of €6.4 million.

My Department has approved Cork County Council's revised preliminary report for the Innishannon water supply scheme, which will serve Ballinadee, Ballinspittle, Garretstown and Kilbrittain. It is now a matter for the council to prepare contract documents. Following receipt and approval of the contract documents by my Department, the council will be in a position to invite tenders for the scheme.
