I propose to take Questions Nos. 574 and 575 together.

A number of contracts for the Laois Grouped Town Sewerage Scheme are included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013 as contracts to start during the period of the programme.

My Department has approved proposals for a contract for network improvements in each of the towns in the scheme and the contract to design, build and operate waste water treatment plants in each of the towns to progress to the tender stage. I understand that the tender process for the contract for the waste water treatment plants is underway.
