Violet-Anne Wynne (IND), Clare

I begin by acknowledging the passing of the former Cathaoirleach of Seanad Éireann Tras Honan, whose funeral took place in Ennis this morning. I also echo the sympathy expressed to Shane MacGowan's family on his sad passing today.
I want to raise with the Tánaiste the issue of wastewater treatment in Cooraclare and Broadford. As he is aware, a pilot scheme to fund wastewater treatment facilities in villages where no such facilities exist at present was announced last year and is awaiting roll out from the Department. At the time, Clare County Council made detailed submissions for two villages to be included in the pilot scheme, namely, Cooraclare and Broadford. I have spoken with the Minister about this on many occasions. Both of the villages have campaigned for a long time. Unfortunately, others have promised them false dawns for the date for this, such as, most recently, 9 October. I would be grateful if the Tánaiste could inform the House as to when the Minister intends to make the announcement so these communities can finally get the answers they need.
