The greater Dublin strategic drainage study is funded under the water services investment programme of the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. It has been undertaken by Dublin City Council on behalf of the seven local authorities in the greater Dublin region. I understand that the final study report is being examined by the local authorities concerned and will be submitted to the Department shortly. The study's conclusions on the need for new water services infrastructure will be considered under the Department's water services investment programme.
