I am pleased to inform the Deputy that on 9 June 2006, I announced the approval for the allocation of CLÁR top-up funding of €603,504 for the Shraheens (Aughagower) Group Water Scheme in County Mayo. This funding will enable work amounting to €1,760,208 to be carried out, with the balance being paid by the Department of Environment, Heritage & Local Government and by private contributions from the Group members.
A total of 72 households will benefit from the Scheme with savings of €8,382 per household.
When Mayo County Council submit a claim for funding, supported by a certificate of completion to this Department, the CLÁR top-up funding will be paid.
