I approved a grant of €427,500 last month under the Small Schemes Measure of my Department's Rural Water Programme towards improvement of the Castletownkinnagh water supply. This funding is being made available as part of the special funding provided by my Department to allow for remedial works to public water supplies identified by the Environmental Protection Agency as having potential issues regarding the safety and security of the supplies.

As responsibility for the administration of the Rural Water Programme is devolved to local authorities, further progress on the scheme in this case is a matter for Cork County Council
