Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Water Quality and Infrastructure and Small Town and Villages Growth Programme: Discussion
Mr. Niall Gleeson:
I may have to come back to the Deputy on those specific issues. We do not have a public network in many of these places at present. Irish Water's remit is currently not addressing those towns and villages. We would need to work on policy with the Department to address those issues and the towns that do not have sewers at the moment. It is an expensive proposition. We are quite happy to engage on this but it is not within our remit at present to enter towns that do not have an existing public sewer network. Would Mr. Ó Coigligh like to come back in?
