The Grange/Strandhill/Tubbercurry Sewerage Scheme (Wastewater Treatment Plants Upgrades) was included in my Department’s Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013 as a contract to start at an estimated cost of €10.8 million.

My Department approved the Design Review Report for this Scheme in August 2013. However, the scheme had not progressed to the next stage prior to the transfer of responsibility for the delivery of water services capital infrastructure to Irish Water on 1 January 2014. Irish Water is currently preparing its Capital Investment Plan for 2014 – 2016 and this will provide for the transition of projects which were included in my Department’s 2010 - 2013 Water Services Investment Programme.

473. To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide an assurance that the setting up of Irish Water will not jeopardise or delay the Cloghran drainage scheme, north County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2798/14]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 471 and 473 together.

The Cloghran Drainage Scheme was not included in my Department’s Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013, so details of how Fingal County Council was progressing the scheme are not available in my Department.

Since 1 January 2014, Irish Water is responsible for the delivery of water services capital infrastructure. It is currently preparing a Capital Investment Plan for 2014 – 2016 that will provide for the transition of projects included in the 2010 - 2013 Water Services Investment Programme.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 472 and 474 together.

The Malahide Water Supply (Reservoir) Scheme was approved to proceed under the Serviced Land Initiative Sub-Programme of my Department’s Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013. However, I understand that Fingal County Council had not progressed the scheme, in accordance with the conditions of its approval, prior to 31 December 2013.

Irish Water is now responsible for the delivery of water services capital infrastructure. It is currently preparing a Capital Investment Plan for 2014 – 2016 that will provide for the transition of projects included in the 2010 - 2013 Water Services Investment Programme.
