Question 186: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the capacity constraints in relation to both industry and development in County Kildare due to the limited capacity of Osberstown waste water treatment plant; the action planned in order to overcome current difficulties; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Upper Liffey Valley Sewerage Scheme is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007 as a scheme to commence construction in 2007. In December 2006, I approved Kildare County Council's Preliminary Report for the expansion of the wastewater treatment plant at Osberstown; and since then the way has been clear for the Council to prepare contract documents for this element of the scheme. The Council's Preliminary Report for the collection networks in Clane, Johnstown, Kilcullen, Kill, Naas, Newbridge, Prosperous and Sallins is under examination in my Department and is being dealt with as quickly as possible.
