The Kinvara Sewerage Scheme is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2010-2012 , a copy of which is available in the Oireachtas Library, as two contracts to advance to construction during the lifetime of the Programme at an estimated overall cost of €4.8 million.

I have recently approved the grant of a Foreshore Licence for the Kinvara Sewerage Scheme and the Chief State's Solicitors Office has been asked to draft the licence. My Department is currently examining Galway County Council's revised design proposals for the scheme and a decision will be conveyed to the Council as soon as possible. Once the Council's revised design proposals have been approved by my Department, the Council will then be in a position to draft contract documents to seek tenders for the Kinvara scheme.
