The Glenamaddy Sewerage Scheme is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007 as a scheme to start construction in 2007.

I approved Galway County Council's Preliminary Report for the scheme earlier this month. Under new procedures I have introduced to speed up progress with the Programme, the Council is now free to advance the scheme to construction without further reference to my Department.

These schemes are included for funding in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007.

I have approved Clare County Council's revised proposals in relation to the scope and scale of the new infrastructure to be provided in each of the locations involved and agreement has been reached with the Council in relation to the funding of the scheme towards which €8.808m will be provided by my Department.

The Council's Contract Documents for the scheme, received in the Department last month, are being examined and will be dealt with as quickly as possible.
