asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state what stage has now been reached in the plans for the sewerage scheme at Cappawhite, County Tipperary, and when work on the scheme is likely to begin.

Following a local inspection and conference, an alternative method of treating the effluent has been suggested for the consideration of the county council. Until a suitable system for disposal of the effluent has been definitely determined and approved, it will not be possible to forecast when work on the scheme will begin.
