The Malin Town 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 €1.6 million.

My Department is examining Donegal County Council's application for a procurement/construction stage budget for the scheme and a decision will be conveyed to the Council shortly. In the meantime, the Council is free to proceed to tender and construction without further reference to my Department in accordance with the streamlined procedures I introduced earlier this year to advance progress the Water Services Investment Programme.
