I recently approved Galway County Council's proposal to invite tenders for Stage 2 of the Tuam Town Drainage Scheme which is being funded under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007.

The scheme, as approved, does not provide for the wastewater collection network being extended to the Bermingham Road. However, I understand that Galway County Council has such an extension under consideration and any proposals the Council may submit to my Department in this regard will be dealt with as quickly as possible.
