I understand that Kildare County Council's proposals to provide sewerage facilities in Ballymore Eustace under the serviced land initiative are in abeyance because the proposed residential development to be served by the scheme is not proceeding.

No other proposals in respect of Ballymore Eustace were included in the wastewater infrastructure requirements identified by Kildare County Council in November 2003 in response to my Department's request to all local authorities to undertake fresh assessments of the needs for capital water services works in their areas and to prioritise their proposals on the basis of the assessments. The priority lists were taken into account in the framing of the Water Services Investment Programme 2004-2006 published in May 2004. In the absence of a prioritised proposal for Ballymore Eustace, no provision has been made for it in the programme.
