The Programme for Government commits to establishing a new procedure for large developments where Developers can meet with local authority planners and Uisce Éireann on site to iron out issues at pre-planning stage, as well as introducing statutory timelines for pre-connections and water / wastewater connection agreements.

My Department has commenced discussions with Uisce Éireann in the first instance on the implementation of this commitment, with a view to engaging with the local authority sector thereafter.
