When those funds were allocated for the taking in charge initiative last year, there were several counties involved. Each of those have taken up their allocation and carried out physical works on the ground. Cork County Council and Crossbarry is the only one, I understand, which has not gone ahead with a build. Survey work was done and reports were presented on it, but aside from the surveys no physical work on the plant has taken place. That is where the focus needs to be. The plant needs to be upgraded to ensure the residents in Crossbarry have a reasonable quality of life and that they will not have trouble with blocked sewers.

Is the Minister of State in a position to put in place that multi-annual programme that was originally envisaged as part of the original taking in charge initiative? Will it be in place over the next couple of months so that Crossbarry and many other estates like it will be able to benefit from it?
