Question:
To ask the Minister for Regional Development, pursuant to AQO 5422/11-15, whether he will seek funding for additional deodorising equipment at Carrickfergus Waste Water Treatment Works.

Answer:

I have been advised by Northern Ireland Water (NIW) that the current project underway at Carrickfergus Wastewater Treatment Works includes the installation of odour control equipment to comply with the Pollution Prevention Control Licence.

If it is considered that additional deodorising equipment is required following completion of the current work, then NIW will seek to meet the cost from within its PC15 funding allocation without the need to seek additional funding.
