I thank Deputy O'Keeffe for the question. Between now and 2027, more than €8.5 billion will be invested by Irish Water in key infrastructure, the majority of which will go into wastewater infrastructure because it is so important. Obviously, because Irish Water sits in my Department and I also have responsibility for housing, we can co-ordinate investment to ensure houses are built with the necessary infrastructure in place, including clean water going in and wastewater going out. If the Deputy is concerned about a delay on a specific site or project because the necessary investment has not been committed, he should give me a note and I will examine the issue immediately.
