The Programme for Government commits to introducing statutory timelines for pre-connections, and water / wastewater connection agreements to ensure large developments can proceed without delay, and establishing a new procedure for large developments above 100 units where a developer can meet local authority planners and Uisce Éireann on site to iron out issues at pre-planning stage.

My Department is engaging with Uisce Éireann on the necessary steps to implement commitments on new connections.
