FUNDING WELCOMED FOR BOX CROSS WATER SCHEME

CORK East Labour Party TD Seán Sherlock has welcomed news that government funding has been approved for the Mallow/Ballyviniter Box Cross water scheme

Minister John Gormley confirmed that funding has been released to Cork County Council for the project in reply to a parliamentary question tabled by Deputy Sherlock seeking an update on the status of the scheme.

In his reply the minister stated: "The programme includes a start in relation to the Mallow/Ballyviniter Box Cross Scheme in the period 2010/12 with further works relating to the scheme to advance to planning during the period. I have approved funding to allow Cork County Council to accept a tender for the Box Cross Phase 1 contract. Further progression of this contract is now a matter for Cork County Council."

"This is a vital scheme for the area as the existing water supply is far from adequate. With funding now approved it is imperative that Cork County Council progress the work as quickly as possible," said Deputy Sherlock.
