The Kilcummin Sewerage Scheme was included in my Department’s Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013 as a scheme to advance through planning. The most recent proposal from the Council in relation to this scheme was received in my Department in June 2012. My Department examined this proposal and requested further information from the Council.

Kerry County Council did not submit the information requested and 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.
