123 Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for the Environment when he will announce the group water schemes that will be sanctioned to commence this year. [4333/95]
Group water schemes are approved on an ongoing basis subject to available resources and the level of existing commitments under the programme.I expect to be in a position to approve a number of further schemes shortly.
124 Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for the Environment when sanction will be given for the commencement of the Lisheenkyle group water scheme, County Galway. [4334/95]
Normal group scheme grants and contributions would not be sufficient to finance this scheme, for which a special contribution of over £100,000 has been sought from the water services programme. A decision regarding the scheme will be made as soon as possible.
