View answerThe information requested is being compiled and will be provided to the Deputy in accordance with Standing Orders.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A
My Department recoups funding under the Rural Water Programme to local authorities who administer the programme on behalf of my Department. Funding is available under the programme towards the provision or necessary improvement of individual domestic water supplies (more commonly known as private wells).
Details of the grant for the provision of individual domestic water supplies are available from local authorities and on my Department’s website at the following link http://www.housing.gov.ie/water/water-services/rural-water-programme/private-wells.
The tables set out the number of such supplies that are grant aided and the amounts recouped by county over the period 2014 – 2016.
