My Department funds works to deal with water quality issues identified by the Environmental Protection Agency on its Remedial Action List (RAL) under the Small Schemes measure of the Rural Water Programme. Donegal County Council has applied for funding under this measure to carry out pipe rehabilitation/replacement work at Magheroarty. This type of work is not normally eligible for RAL works funding and should be carried out under the Council's water conservation programme. In this regard, the reply to Question No. 1515 of 29 September 2010 clarifies the position.
