Galway County Council is due to debate the funds for sewerage schemes at Monday's meeting. The debate will centre on a reported €10,0O0 per bouse limit that is being placed on sewerage scbemes in rural towns and villages. Tberefore a village witb about 60 bouseswould only qualify for a grant of €6OO,000 when it could cost €l.5m. to get tbe job done.

Any limits like that could seriously affect, or stop, sewerage developments in some villages in Connemara. This matter bas been higblighted by Councillor Seosamh Ó Cuaig. Councillor Ó Cuaig and Councillor Tomás Mannion from Caltra agreed to seek a debate at Monday's meeting.
