I previously announced funding for individual projects across ten local authorities including for estates in Cork. This was a first tranche of funding under the Multi-Annual Developer Provided Water Services Infrastructure Resolution Programme.

Details can be accessed on my Department’s website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/publication/98ed6-developer-provided-water-services-infrastructure-dpi/

I also made a request to local authorities to submit further projects that could have problems resolved by connecting to Uisce Éireann. This lead to a number of applications including from Cork County Council.

In addition to this, I announced a number of more complex demonstration projects for further examination, including locations in Co Cork. These, after consideration by an Expert Panel, required further development by the local authorities, to achieve sustainable solutions and enable a funding commitment to be made under the multi-annual programme.

In the coming weeks I expect to receive a submission from the Panel addressing the above and will then be in a position to make an announcement for a further tranche of funding.
