Riachtanais Bailithe agus Cóireála Fuíolluisce sa Ghaeltacht: Plé
Mr. Fintan Towey:
That is correct. DPI is about infrastructure that was put in place by estate developers, mainly in the period from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s. In the normal course of events, when the estates were completed, the infrastructure was handed over to local authorities. In many cases, that did not happen. There is a legacy issue with infrastructure that is not fit for purpose at this point and that is not connected to the public system. There are issues that need to be resolved so there is a funding programme with a view to enabling that to happen.
