With regard to the specific projects referred to in the question I refer to the reply to Question Nos.1412 and 1466 of 24 September 2008. I would also point to the increase of 19%, to €560m, in my Department's capital provision for water services in 2009 as evidence of the priority attached to investment in water services infrastructure for environmental and economic purposes.
