My Department’s Multi-annual Rural Water Programme, through Exchequer funding, delivers improvements to water services in areas of rural Ireland where there are no public water services.

A working group – the Rural Water Working Group - is considering the composition of the measures for inclusion for funding under the upcoming multi-annual programme.  Once I have had an opportunity to consider their report, I expect to announce details of the programme priorities. An invitation, to all local authorities including Clare County Council, to submit bids will follow later this year.
