asked the Minister for the Environment when he will grant approval for the invitation of tenders to Roscommon County Council for Ballyleague sewerage scheme.

(Dublin South-East): The approval of contract documents for the stage 1 of the Ballyleague sewerage scheme cannot be considered until the Roscommon County Council confirm that the necessary treatment works site and way leaves for sewers have been acquired. The submission of the necessary confirmation is awaited in my Department.

It is my information that this information has been supplied to the Department.

The Deputy was told that the Department did not have the information and must act on that basis.

I cannot accept that because I am satisfied that the information has been given.

(Dublin South-East): In view of what the Deputy says, I will have another look at it but I have no reason to doubt that the information I have given the House is anything but accurate.
