asked the Minister for the Environment if he has examined the proposals submitted by Kerry County Council for the extension of Fenit sewerage scheme and if so, the present position.

Two proposals to extend Fenit sewerage scheme at a cost of £15,000 and £28,000 respectively were submitted by Kerry County Council. I have conveyed approval to the council to proceed with the former which will serve seven premises, a certain park and an industrial site. Having regard to the high cost per house the £28,000 extension has not been approved.
