The Oughterard Sewerage Scheme is included for funding in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-09. My Department has requested Galway County Council to make necessary amendments to the brief for the appointment of consultants to undertake the design of the scheme and detailed guidance has been provided to assist the Council in that regard. The amended brief will be dealt with as quickly as possible on receipt by my Department.

The Portrane/Donabate/Rush/Lusk Sewerage Scheme is included for funding in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-09. I approved Fingal County Council's tender documents for the wastewater treatment element of the scheme in August 2008 and my Department is now awaiting submission of the Council's tender recommendation. My Department is also awaiting submission of the Council's contract documents for the pipe network contract.
