Lixnaw is included for funding in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009 as part of a grouped sewerage scheme to service a number of towns and villages in Co Kerry. Further information is awaited from Kerry County Council to enable my Department to examine the Preliminary Report for Lixnaw. I understand that Kerry County Council is undertaking a strategic study with a view to optimising the delivery of wastewater infrastructure in up to 90 towns and villages in the county, including Tarbert. My Department will consider the Preliminary Report for the Tarbert Sewerage Scheme in the light of the study recommendations.
