Responsibility for the administration of the Rural Water Programme has been devolved to local authorities since 1997. The selection, prioritisation and approval of individual scheme proposals for advancement and funding under the programme, within the overall priorities set by my Department and subject to the block grant allocations provided, is therefore a matter for the local authorities. The table below sets out the funding recouped by my Department to North and South Tipperary County Council s from 2004 to 2013. This includes all capital funding provided under the Rural Water Programme and subsidies, provided under the Local Government Fund, towards the operational costs of group water schemes and local authority salary costs.
