In June 2018 an application for the proposed integrated waste water treatment project at Clonshaugh Dublin 17 and associated works (known as the Greater Dublin Drainage Project) was referred to me in my role as a statutory consultee under the Planning and Development Act 2000(as amended). Heritage related observations on the proposal issued from my Department in August 2018 to An Bord Pleanála which is the consent authority for this application.  Further information pertaining to the application was referred to my Department in August 2018. Agents acting on behalf of Irish Water also consulted with my Department at pre-planning stage.

Any submissions made by prescribed bodies to planning authorities may be taken into consideration by the authority when making its determination on the application and I have no role in this regard, nor can I comment on ongoing planning applications.
