An application for CLÁR funding in respect of the upgrading of the Fahy/Kilmaclasser group water scheme was received in my Department in September 2006.

My Department is examining the matter in consultation with Mayo County Council and the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (D/EHLG).

Under the conditions governing CLÁR funding for such schemes, D/EHLG is consulted on all schemes costing more than €250,000 to CLÁR. As the CLÁR funding requested in this instance is €1,169,087, the application was referred to D/EHLG and their advice is awaited. A decision on the application will be made as soon as possible.
