I propose to take Questions Nos. 394 to 396, inclusive, together.
My Department does not compile the information requested relating to public sewer networks. The EPA, however, reports on the quality of effluents discharged from treatment plants, sewers or drainage pipes that are controlled or used by local authorities. The EPA latest report Focus on Urban Waste Water Discharges in Ireland for the monitoring period 2008/2009 was published in February 2012. This national report summarises effluent discharge quality from agglomerations in excess of 500 p.e., and also outlines the type of receiving waters into which wastewater is discharged. A copy of the report is available on the EPA website at www.epa.ie . A further update summary for the monitoring period 2010 was published in June 2012.
