Ballyduff Upper Group Water Scheme was included by Cork County Council in its bid under Measure 3 of the Rural Water Multi-Annual Programme 2016 – 2018 for funding those group water schemes in areas where a public scheme and private wells are not a viable option. However, following examination of all local authorities' proposals under this measure by the Expert Panel convened for this purpose, the Ballyduff Group Water Scheme was not recommended for funding under the programme. As such, this scheme will not be funded under the Rural Water Programme. A copy of the Expert Panel's report and consideration of all proposals under the Programme are available on my Department’s website at .
