Details of the major water and sewerage schemes in County Louth 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. My Department recoups expenditure by local authorities on individual schemes in the Programme on foot of certified claims submitted by authorities. Details of the claims recouped to Louth County Council and Drogheda Town Council to date in 2006 are set out in the following table.

The Carrigaholt, Labasheeda and Cooraclare Sewerage Scheme is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007 as a scheme to commence construction in 2007. Clare County Council is currently reviewing the scheme with a view to improving the cost effectiveness of the proposals. The Council's revised proposals will be given the earliest possible consideration when received in my Department.
