Contract documents for this scheme are under consideration in my Department. I am not as yet in a position to indicate when a decision on it can be given.

Do the contract documents include plans for stage II of the mid-Kerry water supply scheme and also for the reservoir at Barleymount?
Comment on this
The preliminary proposals of the mid-Kerry scheme were approved at stage II. The scheme would involve an extension of 4,440 million gallons, a booster and a pumphouse as well as a 16,000 million gallon reservoir at Barleymount. The contract documents were received in the Department on 4th December, 1975. The scheme is now No. 1 on the list of priorities for Kerry and when it has been cleared it will be the first of the schemes for that area to be undertaken.
