The Killorglin Water Supply Improvement Scheme is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007 as a scheme to commence construction in 2007, at an estimated cost of €1.37m.

Kerry County Council's Preliminary Report for the scheme is under examination in my Department and is being dealt with as quickly as possible. In accordance with the streamlined procurement procedures for schemes costing less than €5m, once the Preliminary Report has been approved the Council will be in a position to proceed to tender and construction without further reference to my Department.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 550 and 551 together.

The Waterville Water Supply and Sewerage Schemes have been approved for construction in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007. I recently approved Kerry County Council's contract documents for the water and sewerage networks and it is now a matter for the Council to proceed with the tender process for these works. The Council's tender documents for the water and wastewater treatment plants, which are being procured as a single Design/Build/Operate contract, are being examined in my Department following recent receipt of additional information requested from the Council and are being dealt with as quickly as possible.
