60 Mr. J. Walsh asked the Minister for the Environment if he will ensure commencement of work on a water scheme (details supplied) in County Cork. [10979/97]
There is no record in my Department of a proposal for a group scheme at the location referred to. However there is an application for a scheme at Aghatubrid, Leap, County Cork.
As already announced, responsibility for the administration of the group schemes programme has been devolved to the local authorities, subject to existing commitments on foot of approvals issued by my Department. Where schemes have not yet been approved, including the Aghatubrid scheme, it will in the future be a matter for the local authorities to decide on grant allocations.
