The Mooncoin sewerage scheme has been approved for funding in my Department’s water services investment programme 2004-06 under the serviced land initiative at an estimated cost of €600,000.

Mr. P. McGrath
asked the
Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government
if an application for funding, in respect of a drainage scheme at Piltown, County Kilkenny, has been received by his Department; the date of receipt of application; if the scheme has been approved by his Department; the estimated cost of the scheme; if approval to proceed has been granted; and if not, the timeframe for such approval.
[28205/04]
Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche):
A proposal for a wastewater scheme to serve Piltown, at an estimated cost of €300,000, was ranked ninth in the list of waste water schemes submitted by Kilkenny County Council in November 2003 in response to my Department’s request to all local authorities to undertake fresh assessments of the needs for capital works in their areas and to prioritise their proposals on the basis of the assessments.
The priority lists were taken into account in the framing of my Department’s water services investment programme 2004-06, published in May 2004. Given the ranking afforded to the scheme by the council, it has not been possible to include it in the programme.
