My Departments Multi-annual Rural Water Programme, through Exchequer funding, delivers improvements to private domestic water and waste water services in areas of rural Ireland where there are no public (Irish Water) water/waste water services.
During the 2016-2018 funding cycle, Kerry County Council were allocated funding of €1,957,550 and €739,824 was paid to the Council by my Department. For the 2019-2021 cycle, an allocation of €4,354,750 was made by the Department and to date €3,381,700 has been paid.
My Department has devolved the day to day running of the multi-annual programme to the local authorities. The authorities are best placed to provide details of the amounts unspent at any point in time.
