The Gowran/Goresbridge/Paulstown Water Supply Scheme is approved for construction under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007 at an estimated cost of €4 million. The Freshford/Johnstown/Goresbridge Sewerage Scheme is also included in the Programme as a scheme to advance through planning at an estimated cost of €3.2 million. In both cases, my Department is awaiting the submission of Preliminary Reports by Kilkenny County Council.

Details of the major water and sewerage schemes in County Limerick that have been approved for funding by my Department are set out in the Water Services Investment Programme 2005 — 2007, which is available in the Oireachtas Library. In addition, I have approved an allocation of €11.65 million for County Limerick under the 2006 Rural Water Programme. This is a devolved programme and details of the schemes to be funded in 2006 may appropriately be sought from Limerick County Council.
