The Castleisland sewerage scheme, stage 2, is included in my Department's water services investment programme 2004-2006 as a scheme to commence construction in 2006 at an estimated cost of €5.5 million. My Department received the required water charging policy report for the scheme from Kerry County Council within the past few days. This will allow consideration of the council's preliminary report for the scheme to be finalised shortly.

Kerry County Council has also submitted proposals to my Department for the appointment of consultants to prepare a procurement strategy for village sewerage schemes in the county. These proposals are under examination in my Department and will be dealt with a quickly as possible.
