I propose to take Questions Nos. 536 and 542 together.

The Ennistymon, Liscannor, Miltown Malbay and Spanish Point Sewerage 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 €12.5m.

Clare County Council's Preliminary Report and Water Services Pricing Policy Report for the scheme are under examination in my Department and are being dealt with as quickly as possible. Once these reports have been approved by my Department, the overall funding arrangements for the scheme will be determined and Council will be in a position to proceed with the preparation of Contract Documents.
