View answerMy Department launched the National Taking-in-Charge Initiative (NTICI) in 2016 to support and accelerate overall national and local action on the taking-in-charge process of housing estates, including estates with developer-provided water services infrastructure (DPI).
A specific focus of the initiative was to expedite progress by local authorities and relevant stakeholders, including Irish Water, in addressing a build-up of pending cases relating to housing developments not yet taken in charge.
My Department will prepare a report in the coming months on key lessons learned from the valuable knowledge and experience gained under the NTICI, including in relation to the type of taking in charge situations raised by the Deputy, which will help inform future taking-in-charge plans, including housing developments served by developer-provided infrastructure.
Further information on the NTICI can be found on my Department’s website at the following link:
