It was written down in the book at which the Minister would look and a committee was to be set up to look at further devolution of functions to local authorities. I would like to see that happen.

I understand there is a problem with some rural group water schemes where the funding is not being made available for them. I would appreciate comment from the Minister on that. It is a problem in many counties. Some of the schemes which are taken under the auspices of the local authorities are doing fine but some of those outside of that system do not do so well. I will not go into the matter of waste prevention now but it is an important issue particularly the Repak tyres issue. I congratulate the Minister on the work he is doing, hopefully the 15,900 units will be on stream before we say "boo".
