The Rathcormac sewerage scheme was seventh on the list of nine waste-water schemes submitted by Sligo County Council in response to my Department's request to all local authorities to undertake fresh assessments of the needs for capital 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 view of the priority afforded to the scheme by Sligo County Council, it was not possible to include it in the programme.
