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 Programme includes contracts under construction and to commence to the value of some €230 million in the county during the life of the Programme.

Contracts for both a waste water treatment plant (Design Build Operate) and network for Youghal Sewerage Scheme are included among the contracts to start during the period of the 2010 - 2012 Programme at an estimated total cost of €18 million. Cork County Council has recently submitted revised contract documents to my Department for both the waste water treatment plant and network contracts and this documentation is currently under examination. A decision will be conveyed to the Council as soon as possible.
