I propose to take Questions Nos. 598 and 599 together.

My Department is finalising its examination of applications from a number of local authorities for loan approvals in respect of expenditure on water services projects, including for the Tuam Town Water Supply and Sewerage Scheme Stage 2. Local Authorities will be notified of the outcome of this examination as soon as possible.

Expenditure in respect of individual schemes under the Department's Water Services Investment Programme is recouped by my Department following examination of the local authority's payment claim to determine the amount of eligible expenditure due to the authority in accordance with the approved budget for the particular scheme.
