Lanesborough Regional Water Supply Scheme is listed in my Department’s Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013 (WSIP) as a scheme to progress through planning.

I recently approved the Preliminary Report for the Lanesborough Regional Water Supply Scheme along with the inclusion in the current WSIP of two contracts to start which will allow the scheme to be advanced. It is now a matter for Longford County Council to proceed with the preparation of Contract Documents for the scheme.
