Funding of â¬8.808m has been approved under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007- 2009 in respect of the Feakle, Scarriff and Quilty (including Mullagh) Sewerage Scheme.
Under devolved procedures the wastewater collection works are a matter for Clare County Council. The Council's tender recommendation for the provision of the wastewater treatment plants was recently received in my Department and is being dealt with as quickly as possible.

The combined Kilkee and Kilrush Sewerage Scheme has been approved for funding under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007 â 2009.
Additional information submitted by Clare County Council in relation to the Preliminary Report for the scheme is under examination in my Department and is being dealt with as quickly as possible. Stormwater works may be considered for funding under the Water Services Investment Programme as part of an approved scheme where such works are necessary to prevent surcharging of foul sewers or wastewater treatment facilities and the Council's proposals in this regard are being considered.
