The feedback from local authorities is that they are crying out to submit bids under the different measures. We had the previous one from 2019 to 2021 and we have no subsequent scheme accepting bids at present. I know of numerous towns and villages in north Mayo that are crying out for access to public water. What level of expenditure will be allocated to the future framework?
