Question 391: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if the Burncourt and Fethard regional water schemes in South Tipperary will be separated to allow for the Burncourt scheme to go for tender in view of the significant delay that the Fethard scheme will have in order to secure its abstraction orders.

These schemes are included for funding in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009.

In December 2008, I approved South Tipperary County Council's Design Review Report, which proposed to procure new water treatment plants for both Burncourt and Fethard as a single Design Built Operate contract and to provide the other elements of the schemes by traditional procurement. No further proposals in relation to either scheme have been received by my Department from the Council.
