147. To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government the reason 11 households in the townland of Coronea, Skibbereen, County Cork are not connected to the main sewerage scheme in view of the fact that it is within 400 metres of their homes, and that the treatment plant is in Coronea and they believe sufficient funding is available for this purpose; his views on the likely contamination of private wells in the area by septic tanks; the reason these residents have been excluded; if he will do all in his power to have them connected; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
