The Greater Dublin Region Drainage Project (GDRDP) Rathmines and Pembroke Sewerage Scheme was included in my Department’s Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013 as a scheme to advance through planning. In May 2013 my Department approved Dublin City Council’s Brief for the Appointment of Consultants to prepare a Preliminary Report for the scheme and the City Council set in train a procurement process so that consultants could be appointed. 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 that were included in my Department’s Water Services Investment Programme 2010 - 2013.
