My Department has approved grants totalling just over €354,000 under the Small Schemes Measure of the Rural Water Programme towards works on the Castlegregory 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, information on the scheme may be sought, in this case, from Kerry County Council.
