Dungarvan town water supply
The Minister could not say when funding might be approved for the major augmentation scheme and was awaiting the council’s report on an interim scheme; he would examine that option but made no commitment.
asked the Minister for the Environment if he will provide moneys for the augmentation of the Dungarvan town water supply, County Waterford.

(Dublin South-East): Having regard to the amount of capital available for the overall water and sewerage programme and the need to provide adequate finance for schemes in progress or getting to construction, I regret that I am not in a position to say when I may convey a decision to the council on the contract documents for the major water augmentation schemes which are under consideration in my Department. My Department are awaiting a report from Dungarvan Urban District Council on the possibility of carrying out an interim water supply improvement scheme under the small schemes programme.

Does the Minister think he will be able to sanction the money for such an interim water scheme?
