An application for CLÁR funding in respect of the upgrading of the Shraheen-Aughagower group water scheme was received in my Department in November 2005. My Department is examining the matter in consultation with Mayo County Council and the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government.

Under the conditions governing CLÁR funding for group water schemes, the Department is consulted on all schemes costing more than €80,000 to CLÁR. As the CLÁR funding requested in this instance was €1,563,021, this application was referred to the Department. A decision on the application will be made as soon as possible.
