Mr. McHugh
asked the
Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government
the situation pertaining to a scheme (details [853]supplied) in County Galway and if he will give approval for the scheme to proceed.
[34830/05]
Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche):
Ballygar sewerage scheme was sixteenth on the list of sewerage schemes submitted by Galway County Council in response to my Department’s request to all local authorities in 2003 to undertake 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 the water services investment programme 2004-06, published in May 2004. Given the ratings afforded to the scheme by the council, it was not possible to include it in the current programme. I envisage that local authorities will be afforded an opportunity in 2006 to undertake fresh assessments of their needs and priorities, which can then be taken into account in subsequent phases of the programme.
