Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community

Tithíocht agus Cúrsaí Pleanála sa Ghaeltacht: Plé

Mr. Tim Lucey:

I will update members on the specifics. I referred to Béal Átha an Ghaorthaidh in terms of water and wastewater capacity in the village, for which we have an objective. In Baile Mhic Íre and Baile Bhuirne, we have an objective to grow both of those settlements in the order of approximately 30 dwellings each in the next six years, but the fact is we have identified there is no wastewater capacity in Béal Átha an Ghaorthaidh and no drinking water capacity in Baile Mhic Íre and Baile Bhuirne. That is the challenge that is faced, which is common to quite a few villages and settlements throughout the county and the country. We will continue to engage with Irish Water on that matter, but that is the current situation.
