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 was just going to say that we will come back to the Deputy with details on the specific locations. I know Midleton is scheduled for 2023. It goes back to my point that it does take us between three and five years to put in infrastructure due to planning, tendering and all those processes. We are reviewing that. We are trying to go quicker.
On the CPO side, we always engage on a volunteer wayleave. That is where we start. Typically, however, we end up in the CPO process. It just turns out that way for whatever reason, especially in the areas of wastewater treatment. People want wastewater treatment in their towns or village. They just do not want it near their house and we have challenges around that. We use the CPO process as a last resort but we do have to use it. Does Mr Ó Coigligh want to come in there?
