Written Answers - Water and Sewerage Schemes.
As already announced, responsibility for the administration of the group schemes programmes is being devolved to the local authorities, subject to existing commitments on foot of approvals issued by my Department. Where the schemes have not yet been approved, including the Mountmahon scheme, it will in future be a matter for the relevant local authority to decide on grant applications
