I propose to take Questions Nos. 1419 and 1422 together.

The Kilmore Quay, Curracloe and Duncormick Sewerage Scheme and the Village Sewerage Schemes, which are being funded under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009, have been grouped as a single project for procurement purposes at an overall estimated cost of €12.94 million. My Department is currently examining Wexford County Council's Preliminary Report for the overall proposal.

The Programme for Government includes a commitment to introduce a scheme of support for the replacement and upgrading of septic tanks older than fifteen years with newer systems. My Department is currently considering the terms, conditions and resource implications that may be appropriate to take forward this commitment.
