Given the substantial existing commitments under the CLÁR Water and Sewerage schemes, and against the background of the current economic climate, these schemes were suspended to new applications in August 2008.
I am reviewing the CLÁR programme as a whole, having regard to demand, the funding available and the level of outstanding commitments. In this context, I have asked the local authorities for information regarding the group water schemes on hand for which funding is available from the Department of Environment, Heritage & Local Government. I will give further consideration to these schemes when the relevant information is provided to me and in the context of the available resources.
