Question 194: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government when he expects the necessary remedial action to be concluded in the matter of methane gas emissions from the sewage treatment system at Leixlip, County Kildare; if his attention has been drawn to the ongoing existence of this problem and the public's dismay at the fact that despite proposals and promises the nauseating odour continues; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

In July 2007, my Department approved Kildare County Council's proposals to carry out works to eliminate odours from the waste water collection system in Leixlip as an advance section of the Lower Liffey Valley Sewerage Scheme. I understand that the Council has now appointed a contractor and that work will commence shortly.
