Amharc ar fhreagraFunding is provided through my Department's Rural Water Programme to the National Federation of Group Water Schemes to support their work within the group water sector. The funding provided to the Federation since its formation in 1998 is set out in the table hereunder. Following a routine internal audit in 2013 which highlighted the accumulation of cash surpluses by the Federation, reduced funding was provided in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Funding levels to the Federation are being progressively restored since 2016.
