Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
611. Deputy Alan Dillon asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage when he intends to publish the new 2022-2025 Multi-annual Rural Water Programme and to make requests for bids for this Programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39633/22]
View answerMy Department’s Multi-annual Rural Water Programme, through Exchequer funding, delivers improvements to water services in areas of rural Ireland where there are no public water services.
A working group – the Rural Water Working Group - is considering the composition of the measures for inclusion for funding under the upcoming multi-annual programme. Once I have had an opportunity to consider their report, I expect to announce details of the programme priorities and an invitation to local authorities to submit bids will follow later this year.
