A sewerage scheme to serve the Curragh, Brownstown, Cutbush and Suncroft areas of County Kildare has been approved for construction in my Department's water services investment programme 2004 to 2006 at an estimated cost of €8.2 million. The scheme is being funded jointly by my Department and by the Department of Defence.

My Department conveyed approval to Kildare County Council's tender recommendations in respect of the scheme in July 2004 and it is matter for the council to arrange with the appointed contractors for the carrying out of the works.
