Responsibility for the administration of the rural water programme, of which group sewerage scheme grants are an element, including approval and payment of individual grants, has been devolved to county councils since February 1997. The programme is funded by an annual block grant by my Department to county councils and details of schemes assisted from the block grants are not available in my Department.

Details of the grants paid by my Department in respect of group sewerage schemes prior to the devolution of the rural water programme are set out in the following table.
