Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have just told the Deputy that all of the projects listed in the water services investment programme 2010-13 will transfer to Irish Water on 1 January 2014; therefore, the project will be included in the capital investment plan for the period 2014 to 2015. We cannot progress the project any further until we receive the EPA licence. It will not move backwards when responsibility is transferred to Irish Water. I hope it will progress much more quickly than in 2007.
