Future group water scheme grants

Summary

Treacy asked whether grants for western group water schemes would continue for the remaining six years. Connaughton would not prejudge the review, and the Chair noted that the matter belonged to another Minister.

Regarding the Minister's statement that after only four years we have spent the greater part of the allocation in respect of group water schemes, can he confirm that grants will be available for such schemes in the west for a further six years?

I do not wish to prejudge the outcome of anything that might be under review.

Can the Minister confirm whether the money will be available.

As the Deputy is well aware, the matter is not as simple as that.

The matter relates to another Minister. The Minister of State made only a passing reference to these schemes.

But a passing question should elicit some information. There is no commitment.
