[21883/98] Minister for the Environment and Local Government (Mr. Dempsey) Noel Dempsey Minister for the Environment and Local Government (Mr. Dempsey): I propose to take Questions Nos. 522, 523, 524 and 525 together. 1717 Last week, I approved 85 schemes under the second tranche of funding of £24 million for the serviced land initiative which will provide water and sewerage services enabling the provision of an additional 55,700 housing sites nationally. Included in these approvals were Fingal County Council's applications for the Bog of the Ring groundwater development, Swords trunk watermain augmentation and the Balgriffin-Limekiln [1717] sewerage schemes. The council's application for the Rolestown sewerage scheme was not approved as the estimated cost per housing unit under this scheme of £6,800 was deemed excessive compared to the average cost per housing unit for the 85 approved schemes of about £1,100.
