The most complete and up to date statement of Kilkenny County Council's water services infrastructural requirements is set out in the Assessment of Needs produced by the Council in response to my Department's request to all local authorities in 2006 to carry out fresh assessments of the need for capital works in their areas and to prioritise their proposals on the basis of the assessments. I am arranging to forward a copy of the assessment to the Deputy. The assessment was taken into account in drawing up the Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009, which I published last week and which is available in the Oireachtas Library.

The Castlefin Sewerage Scheme is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009, as a scheme to advance through planning, at an estimated cost of €1.7 million.

My Department is awaiting a brief from Donegal County Council for the engagement of Consultants to prepare a Preliminary Report for the scheme.
