Minister for the Environment and Local Government (Mr. Dempsey): I propose to take Questions Nos. 106 and 109 together.

Kiltimagh sewerage scheme is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2000-2002 to advance through planning. A brief for the appointment of consultants to prepare a preliminary report for the scheme was approved by my Department last October and the submission of this report by Mayo County Council is now awaited.
