I propose to take Questions Nos. 1359, 1365, 1391 and 1392 together.
Funding for a preliminary assessment of phase 1 of Kerry County Council's proposals to refurbish a large number of village sewerage schemes has been approved in the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government's water services investment programme 2004 to 2006. The refurbishment proposals are divided into three phases. Firies and Milltown are included in the first phase and Kilgarvan is part of a proposed third phase. Kerry County Council submitted a revised brief to the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government last month for the appointment of consultants to undertake the phase 1 preliminary assessment. The council also submitted preliminary reports for the Firies and Milltown schemes that it has identified as the most pressing of the village upgrading proposals. The brief and preliminary reports are being examined in the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and are being dealt with as quickly as possible. Following completion of the preliminary assessment of the phase 1 proposals, consideration will be given to further phases being approved under the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government's water services investment programme.
