The Youghal water supply scheme was eleventh in the list of water and sewerage schemes for the 2007-12 period that was submitted by Cork County Council for its southern division in response to the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government's request to all local authorities to undertake fresh assessments of the need for capital works in their areas and to prioritise their proposals on the basis of the assessments. The assessments were taken into account in the framing of the water services investment programme 2004-06, which was published in May 2004. Given the rating afforded to the scheme by the council, it was not possible to include it in the programme.
