Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Office of Public Works (17 Jul 2025)

Kevin Moran: I have this right around the country where people, such as the Deputy, raise the question, but in defence of my Department, I have to say we have a very small window in which to do it. I will come back to the Deputy in writing to give it more flesh.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Water Services (17 Jul 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: 11. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the progress being made on plans for additional funding to Uisce Éireann to progress large-scale infrastructure projects following the review of the national development plan; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40118/25]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Water Services (17 Jul 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: We all know the issues that are impacted by Uisce Éireann. It says that delivering infrastructure can take more money. In my own constituency, even in the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, report, we have question marks in relation to everything from Cabinhill to Greenmount and Tallanstown. We need to see movement on all of this.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Water Services (17 Jul 2025)

Jack Chambers: In line with the commitment in the programme for Government, my Department has prioritised an early review of the national development plan, which will be published in July. The aim of the review is to improve our infrastructure, particularly water, energy and transport. Prioritisation of these sectors is necessary to deliver hundreds of thousands of additional homes and to boost our...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Water Services (17 Jul 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I suppose we need to see that review as soon as possible. Has the Minister any information in relation to what he reckons that timeline will be for the sectoral allocations? Some of what I am talking about, particularly in the case of Dundalk, falls into the bracket of projects that have been timelined. The three projects I mentioned - Cabinhill, Tallanstown and Greenmount - have had...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Water Services (17 Jul 2025)

Jack Chambers: Water and wastewater infrastructure is critical to deliver the homes that we need and to deal with the broader infrastructure deficit that exists relating to water infrastructure more generally. What we are doing as part of that is prioritising it. The Exchequer funding of what is now Uisce Éireann significantly increased in recent years but we recognise that, to meet the level of...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Water Services (17 Jul 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I hope the interaction that we have is in relation to delivery. Some of the projects I spoke about earlier have been timelined. It is a matter of ensuring that those timelines are at least met. They are timelines that have been set further back than we would have anticipated or wanted. There are particular issues. I welcome the Minister's statement that there is need for a greater...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Water Services (17 Jul 2025)

Peter Cleere: I have two supplementary questions, 30 seconds each. I will let Deputy Farrell in first and then come to Deputy Colm Burke.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Water Services (17 Jul 2025)

Mairéad Farrell: When we are talking about investment within Uisce Éireann and we know investment is desperately needed in terms of delivery of housing and so on across the State, we also need to look at the investment we are making in water infrastructure on the offshore islands. On Inis Oirr, for example, there are night-time restrictions every summer. We need to have a plan and we need to invest in...

Mairéad Farrell: Apologies. I did not realise.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Water Services (17 Jul 2025)

Colm Burke: The Minister spoke of funding for Irish Water. More than 500 treatment plants throughout the country were built between 2002 and 2008. Many of the developers who built them have gone into liquidation or receivership. In one case in Whitechurch in Cork, raw sewage is flying out of the treatment plant into the stream. I have taken samples from it. I have been writing to Cork County...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Planning Issues (17 Jul 2025)

Barry Heneghan: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit. Is deas é sin a chloisteáil. I am delighted to see that, this week, the Government announced the private wires policy. This was something we discussed during the formation of the Government and I am delighted to see the Minister is supporting it, too. I appreciate the response from him and I look forward to him finishing his...
