<strong>Sligo</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>Council</strong> can legitmately claim to have one of the most progressive rural<br />
water programme in the country, and the visit of Minister Roche today is a fitting<br />
culmination to the excellent work being delivered right across our county. While the<br />
various agencies played a hugely significant role, pride of place must go to the<br />
various group scheme committees - this is really their day. They have been to the<br />
forefront of this programme, they have worked tirelessly over the last number of<br />
years and they deserve great credit for their efforts.<br />

the Chairman <strong>County</strong> <strong>Sligo</strong> Rural <strong>Water</strong> Monitoring Committee<br />
As chairman of the <strong>County</strong> <strong>Sligo</strong> Rural Monitoring Committee, I am delighted that<br />
this project has come to fruition, and it is a special day for the many people<br />
associated with our group scheme programme.<br />
When <strong>Sligo</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>Council</strong> embarked on its Rural <strong>Water</strong> Programme in 1997, it<br />
received an allocation of £100,000 for that year. By 2005 this figure had grown to<br />
¤7 million, a reflection of the excellent work being carried out in <strong>County</strong> <strong>Sligo</strong> on<br />
this programme.<br />
There is an excellant working relationship between the various group schemes, <strong>Sligo</strong><br />
<strong>County</strong> <strong>Council</strong>, The Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local<br />
Government and The National Federation of <strong>Group</strong> <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Scheme</strong>s. We are all<br />
working towards a common objective - the delivery of a good quality water supply<br />
which meets the required EU drinking water standards.<br />
