Question 195: To ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the progress his Department has made in ensuring that when the new Tuam town drainage scheme which commences in summer 2009, that all the stakeholders, such as the ESB, Telecom Éireann and broadband services will be co-ordinated to use the open trenches to provide their services without having the streets of Tuam dug up a second and perhaps a third time; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that Galway County Council does not have the €750,000 needed to carry out this function; the progress his Department has made on this matter since he met a deputation of Deputies from the area a few months ago on this issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
