My Department does not receive any details of inspections, numbers approved for grants etc., and the Deputy may wish to contact the local authority mentioned in the details supplied for further information in relation to his request.

The table below sets out details of recoupment for 2020 and 2021 by my Department under the Domestic Waste Water Treatment System Grant Schemes (also known as Septic Tanks) to the local authority named in the details supplied.

Some general information on the Terms and Conditions, including eligibility criteria for each of the three grant schemes, can be found on my Department's website here. The day to day administration of these grant schemes is devolved to the local authorities.
