Work on the sewage collection system in Straffan forms part of the lower Liffey Valley sewerage scheme which is included in my Department's water services investment programme 2004-06 as a scheme to commence construction this year. In December 2004, my Department approved Kildare County Council's proposals to proceed with the Straffan element in advance of the rest of the lower Liffey Valley scheme with a view to the works being carried out in conjunction with planned road improvements. The council's report on tenders for the Straffan works is under consideration in my Department and is being dealt with as quickly as possible.
