View answerMy Department participates in the Project Steering Group for the Greater Dublin Regional Drainage Project (North Dublin Treatment Plant and Orbital Sewer project). The last Steering Group meeting was held on 13 December 2012 and a comprehensive progress report was provided at the meeting. My Department understands that Fingal County Council expects to be in a position to make the decision on a site for the new regional wastewater treatment works, a route for a new orbital sewer and a location for a new marine outfall to the Irish Sea, in the first half of 2013.
