I propose to take Questions Nos. 377 and 387 together.

The Oughterard Sewerage Scheme is included for funding under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009.

Galway County Council's amended Brief for the appointment of consultants for the design, procurement and construction of the scheme is being examined in my Department and is being dealt with as quickly as possible.
