Dunkineely was included as an element of the Southern Waste water Bundle Scheme which was ranked as sixth priority by Donegal County Council in the list of water and sewerage schemes submitted by the Council in response to my Department's request to local authorities last year to undertake fresh assessments of the needs for capital works in their areas and to prioritise their proposals on the basis of the assessments. The priorities adopted by the members of Donegal County Council will be taken into account in the framing of the next phase of my Department's Water Services Investment Programme.
