The Dunlavin Sewerage Scheme is included for funding in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2010-2012 as a scheme to start within the lifetime of the Programme.
My Department has approved Wicklow County Council's Preliminary Report for the scheme. Under the devolved procedures applying to the scheme my Department's next involvement would normally be to approve funding for the work following the completion of the tender process by Wicklow County Council. The Council has, however, asked my Department to review the level of the local contribution towards the scheme. This matter is under examination and a decision will be made as quickly as possible.
