I propose to take Questions Nos. 1352 and 1358 together.

The Oughterard Sewerage Scheme is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009 as a scheme to start construction in 2008.

Galway County Council's brief for the appointment of consultants to prepare Contract Documents for the scheme was received in my Department in December 2007 and is being dealt with as quickly as possible.
