The housing estates referenced in the Question are among a number of developments across the country that continue to rely on Developer Provided Infrastructure (DPI) for their water services. As these estates have not yet been taken in charge, their water services are not connected to the public Uisce Éireann network and remain privately owned.

To support the resolution of this situation, my Department has approved almost €1 million in funding to Kerry County Council, with the project funded on a co-funding basis with the local authority.

It is now the responsibility of Kerry County Council to complete the necessary works so that the estates concerned can be taken in charge without further delay.
