Question:110 Mr. M. Smith asked the Minister for the Environment if he will allocate a supplementary grant to the Brittas group water scheme, Thurles, County Tipperary, in order that the participants, many of whom are old age pensioners, will have a safe drinking water supply. [5650/97]
No proposal has been received in my Department for a supplementary grant in respect of this scheme. As already announced, responsibility for the administration of the group schemes programme is being devolved to the local authorities, subject to existing commitments on foot of approvals issued by my Department. It will in future be a matter for the local authorities to decide on grant applications.
