75 Mr. Broughan asked the Minister for the Environment the research, if any, which has been carried out in consultation with local authorities regarding the future funding of water supplies.
The financing of water services is subject to ongoing examination by my Department, which has the benefit of local authority advice and input on a regular basis. In addition, the ESRI have been commissioned to carry out a study, which will be available shortly, of the question of contributions from industry towards the provision of water facilities.
