Written Answers. - Mayo Group Water Scheme.
Work is nearing completion on the extension of the Lough Mask regional water supply scheme from Ballinrobe to Claremorris at a cost of some £16 million. This scheme will also provide a quality water supply to privately sourced group schemes in adjacent rural areas, including the Ballindine and Irishtown areas. In view of this, my Department has advised the group that grant assistance will be limited to works required to integrate the group's distribution system with the new public supply network.
