I assume the Deputy is referring to the sewerage scheme catering for industrial development at Killygarry, Cavan, which is due for completion in early 1984. The design capacity of the proposed sewage treatment works is 180,000 gallons per day. It would be a matter for Cavan County Council to determine how much, if any, of this capacity is additional to present requirements, on completion of the treatment works.

Will the Minister of State see to it that there will be no restrictions on the use of the scheme in view of the serious unemployment in the construction industry in the area and also the growing unemployment of young people in the area who require manufacturing industry to be established in the complex on that road?

I will take note of what the Deputy has said.
