Responsibility for the administration of the group water schemes measure of the rural water programme has been devolved to local authorities since 1997. However, the question may relate to stage two of the Lisdoonvarna public water supply, which involves an extension of the scheme to Ballyvaughan and Fanore, and has been approved for construction in my Department's water services investment programme 2004-2006.

My Department has now asked Clare County Council to consider undertaking the Fanore extension as a separate project under the rural water programme to expedite the provision of an improved water supply to the Fanore area. On receipt of the council's reply my Department's consideration will be finalised urgently.
