I propose to take Questions Nos. 347, 348 and 349 together.

My Department provides funding, administered through local authorities, for the grants referred to in the questions.

Each local authority has appointed a Rural Water Liaison Officer who deals with the day to day implementation issues for the grant schemes. The officer can be contacted at the Rural Water Section of the relevant local authority.

My Department is currently undertaking a review of all matters relating to the private wells grant scheme, including consultation with key stakeholders, which will inform the outcome of the review. I expect to receive recommendations on the grant scheme for my consideration shortly.
