I am not aware of any delay in regard to the sanction of funds for the scheme in question.
State grants totalling £34,000 were allocated to this scheme on 24 June 1988, and on 6 October, 1988 Sligo County Council agreed to pay a special contribution of £33,382 to the group towards the cost of headworks on the scheme. Instalments of both grants and special contribution will be paid to the group as work on the scheme progresses.
