Graiguecullen Water Supply Improvement Scheme was ranked as third priority by Laois 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 need for capital works in their areas and to prioritise their proposals on the basis of the assessments.

The priorities adopted by the members of Laois County Council will be taken into account in the framing of the next phase of my Department's Water Services Investment Programme.
