Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2023
405. Deputy Alan Dillon asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will provide a breakdown on the amount of subsidy administered for type A, B and C determinants by each local authority for group water schemes, in tabular form, listing the number of group water schemes under each local authority's remit and the total subsidy allocated annually from 2018 to 2022; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12352/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Departments’ Rural Water Programme, through Exchequer funding, facilitates the development of water services for areas of rural Ireland where there are no public water services. Responsibility for the day-to-day implementation of the Programme is devolved to the local authorities. My Department funds the authorities to carry out their work under the Programme.
Local authorities are responsible for the administration of the annual subsidy to Group Water Schemes (GWS) on behalf of my Department. As part of their assessment of an application for funding, local authorities are required to verify all expenditure being claimed.
I can advise that my Department does not maintain data on subsidy payments in the detail requested. The day-to-day administration of the subsidy, including numbers of GWS under each local authorities remit, subsidy type and payment amounts to each GWS are a matter for the relevant authority. Therefore, local authorities are best placed to provide this information.
However, my Department has prepared the table below detailing the amount of total subsidy paid to each local authority for the years 2018 to 2022.
