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 and I expect to have their report soon. Once I have had an opportunity to consider it, I will announce details of the programme priorities and an invitation to local authorities to submit bids will follow.
