I understand that the group in question has only recently received planning permission for the group sewerage scheme and that discussions are on-going between themselves and Cork County Council.

CLÁR funds a €6,000 maximum top-up per house for group sewerage schemes in CLÁR areas where the cost per house exceeds €3,031 and where the Local Authority recommends that this is the most efficient way of providing sewerage treatment for these houses. The schemes are selected by the Local Authority on foot of applications received from local groups.

To date, my Department has not received an application on behalf of this group. [27020/06]
