Question 267: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if his Department has received a renewed Water Services Pricing Policy Report from Kerry County Council in relation to Castle Island sewerage scheme stage two; if the preliminary report will be apparent in the near future; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Kerry County Council's Preliminary Report for Stage 2 of the Castleisland Sewerage Scheme envisages the upgrading and extension of the sewer network to cater for existing unserviced development and future growth in the town environs for the next 25 years.
Because of the scale of the provision for future development my Department requested the Council, in January 2007, to review, in particular, the scope of the scheme and to consider carrying out the work in a number of phases. Such an approach would reduce the marginal cost to be met by the Council in respect of this upgrading and the Council was also asked to undertake a corresponding review of the Water Services Pricing Policy Report. A response is awaited from the Council.
