The Kinsale Sewerage Scheme is approved for funding under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007 – 2009 at a cost of €19 million. My Department approved Cork County Council's contract documents for the upgrade/extension of the collection system in the town in May 2007; the contract was signed in December 2007 and work is now underway on this element of the scheme. The Council's recommended tender for the construction of the new wastewater treatment plant at Commogue was approved last November; I understand that the Council has yet to award the contract.
