I propose to take Questions Nos. 586 to 591, inclusive, 593 to 595, inclusive, 597 and 598 together.

Earlier this year, my Department requested each local authority to undertake fresh assessments of the needs for capital water and sewerage works in their areas and to prioritise their proposals on the basis of the assessments. The priorities adopted by the members of Kildare County Council in this context are set out in the following table and will be taken into account in the framing of the next phase of my Department's Water Services Investment Programme.

Consideration will be given to advancing the scheme to Contract Documents stage when the Preliminary Report is completed and submitted to my Department for approval.
