40 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if he will give details of the funding and supports to be put in place for group water schemes. [5912/98]
My Department's estimates for 1998 include provisions totalling £18.3 million in respect of the scheme of capital grants for the upgrading and provision of group water schemes, the take over by local authorities of existing schemes, the payment of subsidy towards the operational cost of group schemes and other measures related to the group scheme sector. Capital allocations will be made shortly to individual local authorities.
