767 Mr. Bell asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government when the sewerage scheme for Termonfeckin and Baltray will commence; the estimated date of completion; the cost in this regard; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1931/02]

I recently approved the funding for the construction of this scheme on the basis of Louth County Council's tender recommendation. It is a matter for the Council to arrange for the commencement of work on the scheme.
