228. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if he will provide clarity as to what housing estates in Ardnacrusha, County Clare, will benefit from the €5,466,825 funding allocated by his Department in June 2023 under the multi-annual developer provided water services infrastructure resolution programme; what remedial works the funding will cover; when remedial works are expected to begin; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department's Multi-annual Developer Provided Water Services Infrastructure Resolution Programme (DPI) is focused on housing estates which do not have their water services connected to the public network but instead rely on infrastructure provided by developers.

The aim of the DPI programme is to provide funding to local authorities to assist them in implementing solutions that resolve the DPI issues, thus progressively enabling these estates to be taken in charge.

In June 2023, I announced funding to assist Clare County Council in resolving a number of DPI estates in Ardnacrusha. It is now a matter for the local authority to arrange completion of the project as quickly as possible. They are also best placed to provide all the details requested.
