Responsibility for the administration of the Rural Water Programme has been devolved to local authorities since 1997. The selection and approval of individual schemes for advancement and funding under this programme, within the overall priorities set by my Department and subject to the block grant allocations provided is, therefore, a matter for the local authorities.

Funding from my Department under the national rural water programme and the funding provided to County Laois under this programme for each of the years from 2005-2012 is set out hereunder.
