The Gweedore Sewerage Scheme was included in my Department’s Water Services Investment Programme 2010 - 2013as a scheme to commence construction during the lifetime of the Programme. Following receipt of Donegal County Council’s Contract Documents for the scheme my Department approved these Documents in December 2013.

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 Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013. The further progression of all water services capital projects, including the Gweedore Sewerage Scheme, is now a matter for Irish Water. Irish Water has confirmed to my Department that it has established a dedicated team to deal with representations and queries from public representatives. The team can be contacted via an email to or by telephone on 1890 278 278.
