52 Deputy Jim O’Keeffe asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the position regarding the Courtmacsherry/Timoleague sewerage scheme and if he has finalised its assessment of Cork County Council’s preliminary report so that the project can proceed. [44224/10]

The Courtmacsherry/Timoleague sewerage scheme is included in the "Water Services Investment Programme 2010-2012" among the list of contracts in County Cork to start in the period 2010 -2012. I expect to communicate the outcome of the assessment of the Council's Preliminary Report for this scheme to Cork County Council very shortly.
