Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

Following a review of allocations notified to local authorities earlier this year under my Department ’s Rural Water Programme, I approved a grant of €147,000 under the Programme towards a proposed group sewerage scheme at Ballybeg , Ennis, last month. As responsibility for the administration of the Rural Water Programme has been devolved to local authorities since 1997, further information on the scheme may be obtained from Clare County Council.
