The Buncrana sewerage scheme has been approved for planning in my Department's water services investment programme 2004-06, at an estimated cost of €4.7 million. My Department is awaiting submission of a brief by Donegal County Council for the appointment of consultants to draw up the preliminary report for the scheme.

A new hub centre to deal with the sludge from all wastewater treatment plants in Donegal is also to be constructed on the Buncrana site. I understand that the council has now appointed consultants to undertake the planning of this project.
