The lower Liffey Valley sewerage scheme has been approved for construction in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007 at an estimated cost of €31 million.

In May 2005 I approved Kildare County Council's proposals to proceed with work on an advance section of the scheme at Straffan which I understand is now in progress. Kildare County Council's contract documents for the major elements of the scheme are under examination in my Department and will be dealt with within the next few weeks. Approval of the contract documents will enable the council to invite tenders for the carrying out of the works.
