My Department recently approved loan borrowings of €700,000 by the local authority concerned in respect of the substantially completed Ennis Water Treatment Plant as part of a first tranche of borrowing approvals issued for completed water services schemes and schemes on which there was an outstanding loan approval balance. Other borrowing requirements for water services schemes, including Broadford Sewerage Scheme, will be considered in the context of the next tranche of local authority loan approvals, which are expected to be made shortly.
