To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide details of the additional allocations under the rural water programme to various local authorities in addition to the programme announced earlier in the year and if additional funds have been allocated to this programme or if it is a re-allocation of resources between local authorities within the overall programme; if he will confirm the total allocation under this programme for 2012; if he will provide the list of the original allocations plus any additional allocations for each local authority; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Some €40 million in Exchequer funding was allocated to the Rural Water Programme in 2012.
In March 2012, my Department notified local authorities, who have responsibility for the administration of the Rural Water Programme, of block grant allocations totalling €31.625 million. This consisted of €20.010 million towards group water schemes and €11.615 million towards small public water and wastewater schemes. The balance was held to meet commitments from previous years, including commitments on grants approved in respect of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Remedial Action List.
Following a mid year review of the programme, some local authorities were notified in August of additional allocations totalling over €3 million. Details of the allocations notified to each local authority in March 2012 and the additional allocations notified in August 2012 are set out in the following table.
