The water-supply report is under examination, with a decision expected soon; the sewerage contract documents may be revised and retendered.
asked the Minister for the Environment if he has received an application from Ballinasloe UDC for grants for water and sewarage schemes; and if so, the position regarding these applications.
Comment on this
I assume that the Deputy is referring to the provision of finance for Ballinasloe water and sewerage schemes.
The preliminary report for the augmentation of Ballinasloe water supply scheme is at present under examination in my Department. I hope to convey a decision thereon to the local authority in the near future. The question of finance for this scheme will not arise until it has been fully planned and approved.
My Department have advised the local authority that there is no objection to revising the contract documents for Ballinasloe sewerage scheme and to readvertising the scheme for tender. A loan of £97,000 for the financing of the scheme was sanctioned in July 1977.
