Killeen Welcomes Completion Of Water Services Schemes

Minister for Defence, Mr. Tony Killeen T.D. today congratulated Clare County Council on the completion of two Water Services Schemes in Corofin and Tulla.

Commenting on the official opening of the Corofin Sewerage Scheme, the Clare Fianna Fail Deputy said: “For many years, the lack of adequate infrastructure in North Clare had led to pressure being placed on rural areas in relation to development with more and more people applying to the County Council for permission to build and to provide their own septic tank and water supply. The completion of this scheme relieves much of this pressure and provides for the rural regeneration and sustained economic development of Corofin and surrounding areas.”

“With ever increasing numbers of tourists visiting this part of the County, it is imperative that the necessary infrastructure is in place. After all, a sustainable tourism industry is of importance to the future economic well-being of the entire County", added Minister Killeen

The schemes, delivered by the Councils Water Services Capital Project Team, and part-funded under the Water Services Investment Programme are among an extensive number of schemes delivered through the Water Services Capital Section of Clare County Council particularly during the past 4 to 5 years.
