Vol. 506 No. 6
80 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if he will approve extra staffing to Limerick County Council to allow it to effectively take over responsibility for extra group water schemes. [16102/99]
It is open to Limerick County Council having regard to budgetary and personnel circumstances to recruit and deploy staff to deal with the rural water programme. There is no record in my Department of any request from Limerick County Council for the approval of additional staff for the administration of group water schemes, in so far as this may be required.
