The Dunmore, Kilkerrin and Leenane sewerage schemes have been approved for funding in my Department's water services investment programme 2004 -2006 under the rural towns and villages initiative.

Galway County Council's tender documents for the three waste water treatment plants, which are being procured as a grouped design-build-operate contract, together with the council's tender recommendations in respect of the collection systems, are being examined in my Department and will be dealt with as quickly as possible.
