Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Implementation of Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms AnnMarie Farrelly:
In relation to infrastructure generally, I have operated a plan of knowing our sites, and knowing what infrastructure is needed and where. Some of our villages in north County Dublin would need some Irish Water infrastructure. They are aware of that and they have plans under way, but it can take time. However, for the big sites Irish Water has worked well with us to make sure the infrastructure is in place. I can give the example of Ballymastone in Donabate, where the Irish Water infrastructure was delivered on time to suit the opening up of those lands by some other road infrastructure.
