Action 43 under the 2023 Housing for All Action Plan Update, which can be accessed at this link: 2023 Housing for All Update., includes the commitment "to convene a working group that includes the major utility and infrastructure providers to align delivery programmes to ensure the timely delivery of utilities and infrastructure required to support housing development, with updates to be reported to the Public Service Delivery Group on a quarterly basis."
Uisce Éireann provides quarterly updates to my Department in relation to connections activity through the Housing for All reporting structures. Uisce Éireann remains committed to playing its part in the national drive to provide homes to people who need them by developing and prioritising the delivery of key water service infrastructure.
