Helen McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I wish the Deputy well and congratulate him on his appointment. I am aware of this issue. It was raised with me when I was in the constituency during the election campaign. My understanding is that this is very much on the agenda for Uisce Éireann and that work is under way and engagement is happening with stakeholders. The commitment I mentioned is that we will increase and expand the funding that is going into Uisce Éireann to make sure these kind of developments can happen as quickly as possible. The Government is committed to supporting these types of programmes and making sure they can progress as quickly as possible.
