Pat Casey (Fianna Fail)

In a county development plan, it is clearly indicated if water and wastewater infrastructure is available but that is not the case for power. Can that be worked on? On Irish Water and developer-led investment, we have to learn from our history. Garden Village in Newtownmountkennedy is an absolute disaster. It was left behind. We cannot go back to that. Equally, we have seen the reverse in Arklow, where the primary health care system was on a private system and a full, brand-new council estate was established four years ago in a developer-led system. There are practical, realistic solutions that can be developer-led. I know it is being considered but how aggressively could it be considered? We have to learn from the past but we have to move forward as well. Irish Water cannot reach everything. It will not be possible if we are to get the figures we need that Uisce Éireann can do it all.
