Work is continuing on the Patrickswell Sewerage Scheme – Networks Contract which is being funded under my Department’s Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013.

In August 2013, Limerick County Council submitted a proposal for an extension to the contract in the Ballyanrahan / Ballybronogue area at an estimated cost of some €0.57 million. Following examination of this proposal by my Department, a letter issued to Limerick County Council in October 2013, advising the Council that funding of the extension was not approved as the proposed works would not prevent issues experienced with septicity and odour, and do not represent good value for money.
