Ministerial approval was granted to Mayo County Council in 2005 to facilitate the construction of an outfall for Killala Sewerage Scheme.

The Council subsequently revised its proposal to allow for the connection of the sewerage scheme to an existing outfall in the vicinity.

The new proposal has been assessed and approved by my Department's technical advisors and consideration of the proposal, including its legal implications, is at a very advanced stage.

Consequently, I expect to be in a position to make a determination in the case shortly.
