I understand that works recently carried out under Contract 3B (Trunk Watermains from Ardscull to Athy) of Phase 1 of the Kildare Water Supply Scheme, which is being funded under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009, will provide interim water supply facilities for the Ballyroe area. A longer-term solution will be provided by another element of Phase 1 of the Kildare Water Supply Scheme — the River Barrow Abstraction Scheme and Associated Pipelines. This project is also included in the Investment Programme as a scheme to begin construction in 2008.
