I propose to take Questions Nos. 329 to 333, inclusive, together.

Contracts for the Ardfinnan Regional Water Supply Scheme, the Burncourt and Fethard Regional Water Supply Scheme, the Clonmel Regional Water Supply Scheme, the Clonmel Town and Rural Water Supply Scheme and the Grangemockler Sewerage Scheme are included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2012 as contracts to start during the lifetime of the programme. Estimated costs in each case are included in the Programme.

The position in relation to each of the schemes is as follows: The Preliminary Report for the Ardfinnan Regional Water Supply Scheme is currently under examination in my Department and a decision will be conveyed to the Council shortly. It is understood that South Tipperary County Council is progressing with water abstraction orders, site investigation and acquisition with a view to completing the planning of the Burncourt and Fethard Regional Water Supply Scheme. The Clonmel Regional Water Supply Scheme and the Clonmel Town and Rural Water Scheme are being advanced as a combined scheme and the Council has completed advance works on this scheme. The planning of the main scheme during the lifetime of the current programme is a matter for the Council.

My Department is awaiting the submission by the Council of a detailed design brief for the appointment of consultants to prepare a Preliminary Report for the Grangemockler Sewerage Scheme.
