The Skibbereen Sewerage Scheme has been approved for funding in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007 at an estimated cost of €13.4 million.

I approved Cork County Council's contract documents for the collection system in June 2006 and it is a matter for the Council to advance the tender process for this element of the scheme. The wastewater treatment plant is being procured as part of a grouped project with schemes for Baltimore, Ballylickey, Dunmanway, Schull and Skibbereen. The Council's contract documents for the grouped project are being examined in my Department and will be dealt with as quickly as possible.
