Some €10 million has been made available in 2016 to fund the National Taking in Charge Initiative, which will assist local authorities in developing new approaches to addressing housing estates, including those with developer-provided water services infrastructure that, for various reasons, have not been taken in charge to date.
On 8 July 2016, following consideration of submissions put forward by local authorities, I announced the allocation of €9 million to assist in the process of taking in charge of 356 developments (accounting for over 17,000 households). In addition to the €9 million allocation, almost €4.5 million of funding will be sourced by local authorities through bonds and other sources.
