I propose to take Questions Nos. 330 and 331 together.

The Tubbercurry and Strandhill sewerage schemes have been approved for funding in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme, 2005-2007, under the serviced land initiative. The schemes are being procured as a grouped project that also includes the Grange sewerage scheme.

Sligo County Council's preliminary reports for these schemes are under examination in my Department and are being dealt with as quickly as possible. Once the preliminary reports have been approved the council will be in a position to prepare contract documents.

The Loughrea regional water supply scheme is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme, 2005-2007, as a scheme to commence construction in 2007.

Galway County Council's revised preliminary report for the scheme, which would also serve Kilrickle, is being examined in my Department and is being dealt with as quickly as possible. Once the preliminary report has been approved the council will be in a position to prepare contract documents.
