The Water Services Investment Programme 2010-2012, a copy of which is available in the Oireachtas Library, provides for the development of a comprehensive range of new water services infrastructure in County Cork. The Courtmacsherry/Timoleague Sewerage Scheme is included among the contracts to start during the life of the programme.

My Department approved a revised Preliminary Report for Phase 1 of this scheme in December 2010. Approval of the Preliminary Report allows the Council to advance the project. The next step for the Council is to procure consultants to undertake the preparation of contract documents for the scheme. I understand that the Council has commenced that process.

As this scheme is currently being dealt with by the local authority, it might be more beneficial for the delegation to seek a meeting in the first instance with Cork County Council.
