I understand that the Tap Tips campaign is part of a water conservation strategy for the Greater Dublin Area in respect of which Dublin City Council is acting as lead local authority. Apart from limited part-funding provided by my Department for the initial year of the campaign, 2005, it is being funded by the local authorities themselves. Accordingly, any value for money audit would be a matter for those authorities in the first instance. Local authority expenditure generally is subject to audit by the Local Government Audit Service.
