Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery

Uisce Éireann: Future Work Programme

2:00 am

Mr. Seán Laffey:

As regards the legislation we are seeking to have changed and perhaps some of the discharged regulation from wastewater treatment plants, it is very much focused on trying to speed up the delivery of treatment plants in small towns and villages. It is not the very big stuff, which is so complex that it has to go through the system. There could be a very small treatment plant that is only serving 400 people. If there is a desire to build an extra 30 houses, which is an extra 100 population equivalent, PE, and we had the ability to drop in an additional prefabricated treatment plant alongside to cater for an extra 100 PE and allow people to develop in a village, that is the kind of thing we are looking at.
