Summary

McEllistrim asked whether EEC funding covered 50 per cent of the scheme and when work would start. The Minister could not give a month, saying Northern outfall works had to precede work on this side.

Is there a 50 per cent EEC funding for the Blackwater scheme? The Minister of State said "at the end of the year". Could he state the month?

I am sure the Deputy must be aware that the start of the scheme is the Northern side of the Border and I cannot say when that will start. The outfall in the North has to be completed before we start. I am trying to ensure that when it is possible to start here we are ready to start.
