View answerIn April 2022, I announced a new funding measure under the Multi-annual Rural Water Programme, for the waste water collection and treatment needs of villages and settlements that do not have access to public waste water services.
In advance of the announcement, my Department carried out a baseline survey of all rural local authorities, including Tipperary County Council, to establish the number of villages and settlements listed in their County Development Plan that do not have access to public waste water services.
At the time 61 such villages and settlements were reported in Co Tipperary, however Tipperary County Council are best placed to provide more current details.
