On 19 January, the Minister of State, Deputy McEntee, spoke here. I congratulate her on being a member of the Tánaiste's Brexit team. On that day, she spoke on behalf of the Minister, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, about wastewater treatment plants in north Cork. Irish Water gave her a commitment that Glanworth wastewater treatment plant would be incorporated into a building tender process but in the last week or two, it seems to have fallen out of this bundle. The local authority, Cork County Council, is interested in this village. It has committed to build 14 local authority houses and a local builder has agreed to do that. He cannot get the go-ahead until the treatment plant is upgraded. I ask the Tánaiste to intercede.
