A provision of €207m has been included for new water and wastewater infrastructure in County Kildare under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007 — 2009 which I published in September 2007 and which is available in the Oireachtas Library. The schemes in the Programme are derived from the Assessment of Needs drawn up by Kildare County Council in 2006 at my Department's request and adopted by the elected members.
