That is €700,000 not paid because there was so much pressure put on the local authorities to bring in draconian actions. It was the responsibility of elected members to make the decisions to forfeit services and the authority had a huge job to get the €250,000, yet €700,000 was not paid by the Department. I have been told that the figure of €1 million which is promised for 2015 is also tenuous. The €100 million debt now being paid by Sligo County Council includes a huge investment in water services. Has that portion of the debt been removed to the water authority?

Where has the debt incurred from the water services in Sligo gone to?
