I congratulate the Minister and wish him every success with the position.

This time last year, when the taking in charge initiative announced €180,000 funding for Crossbarry, there was a very real expectation that works would get under way and that the issue with the sewerage plant would be address. The situation in Cluain na Croise, Crossbarry, is replicated right across the country. There is a new estate with a treatment plant and the developer is gone. It needs to be upgraded as it is causing difficulty for residents. The idea of the pilot programme was that a solution would be put in place for Crossbarry but also that lessons would be learned for the future for many other estates around the country.
