Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery
Uisce Éireann: Future Work Programme
2:00 am
Louis O'Hara (Galway East, Sinn Fein)
That is very important. In my constituency of Galway East we have well over a dozen smaller towns and villages where we cannot have the delivery of new housing because that capacity is not there, in the likes of Ardrahan, Corrofin and Abbeyknockmoy. There has only been an announcement of investment in two villages, namely, Craughwell and Clarinbridge, but we have been told it will be years down the line. The opening statement referenced the capacity issues in the eastern and midlands region. Does Mr. Laffey see similar constraints in the western region as well? How does Uisce Éireann ensure balance across the regions in terms of its investment?
