Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
Water and Energy Connections in Rural Areas: Discussion
Mr. Robert Nicholson:
That is subvented by the State. The issue is that any funding, irrespective of whether it is the Department of Rural and Community Development or the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, would need to be carefully calibrated and thought about in terms of what it is trying to achieve.
In terms of the funds available to the Department of Rural and Community Development, the Deputy mentioned CLÁR. That is a flexible enough fund and it is relatively small in regard to the overall amounts.
