I believe that the Deputy is referring to support that is provided through the Multi-Annual Developer Provided Water Services Infrastructure Resolution Programme.

On 21 September 2020, I announced project approvals and funding allocations across 10 local authorities for a first tranche of funding under the Programme. These projects are underway. The announcement also included a request to local authorities to submit further projects that could be resolved by connection to Irish Water.

In addition to this, the announcement included a number of more complex demonstration projects which includes the location in the details supplied, that required further information and examination to enable them to be considered for a funding allocation.

An Expert Panel, which includes Departmental, stakeholder and independent representation in the Chair, has been appointed to review applications for funding under the Programme. Once I have received a submission from the Expert Panel, I expect to be in a position to make an announcement on approvals and allocations for a further tranche of funding in Q1 2023.
