285. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the number of meetings he has held with the national rural water services committee since coming into office; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5420/15]
View answerThe National Rural Water Services Committee, which has a role in advising me in relation to policy and investment in rural water services, is set up under Section 75 of the Water Services Act 2007. While I have not met the Committee, my Department is currently considering, in the context of the 2015 Rural Water Programme, a recommendation from it relating to new group water schemes. I will reach a decision on this recommendation as soon as possible.
