Responsibility for the administration of the Rural Water Programme, which includes small public water and sewerage schemes, has been devolved to local authorities since 1997. The selection and approval of individual group schemes for advancement and funding under the programme, within the overall priorities set by my Department and subject to the block grant allocation provided, is therefore a matter for the local authorities, and for Donegal County Council in this case.
