Arising from the Preliminary Assessment, Kerry County Council has submitted a proposal to my Department for improving sewerage facilities in 48 villages in three phases. My Department is awaiting additional information from the Council in relation to those locations not currently included in the Water Services Investment Programme, including Ballyduff, Ballylongford, Duagh and Moyvane.
