Validated claims under the Water Services Investment Programme for recoupment of expenditure to the value of €6.3 million, as set out in the following table, are currently being processed for payment to the local authorities involved this month.

I refer to the reply to Question No 908 of 19 January 2010 in relation to the processing of claims to validation. As indicated in that reply, additional claims are on hands relating to final accounts for completed schemes. These require greater time to examine and validate for payment, but generally represent a small proportion of annual spending.
