The Multi-annual Rural Water Programme provides an important funding stream to address the key challenges facing the Rural Water Sector. Under the upcoming programme, funding is available to support the Rural Water Sector to build on the achievements and lessons learned from previous multi-annual programmes.
Capital funding of €175m is committed to the MARWP under the National Development Plan 2021-2030 for the period from 2021-2025.
I can confirm that I have approved the measures in the framework for the Multi-annual Rural Water Programme 2024-2026 and I plan to publish it soon. Local authorities, including Mayo County Council, will then be invited to submit applications for funding for priority projects in their areas.
