The Doneraile Sewerage Scheme has been approved for funding in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007 under the Rural Towns and Villages Initiative at an estimated cost of €2.53m. The approval incorporates Exchequer funding at the Serviced Land Initiative rate of 40% for sewer extensions to Skaghardgannon and Brough Cross. It is, accordingly, open to Cork County Council to advance these extensions as part of the collection system contract which, I understand, is currently in progress.
