I propose to take Questions Nos. 218 and 233 together.

The Athenry Sewerage Scheme - Network and Treatment Plant Upgrade Contracts are included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2010 - 2013 as two contracts to start during the lifetime of the Programme with a combined estimated cost of over €11.6 million. My Department approved Galway County Council's Design Review Report for the scheme in May 2012. I understand that the Council is currently finalising the Brief for the appointment of Consultants to prepare Contract Documents for the scheme.
