From 1 January 2014 Irish Water is responsible for the delivery of water services capital infrastructure. It is currently preparing a Capital Investment Plan for 2014–2016 that will provide for the transition of projects included in the 2010-2013 Water Services Investment Programme. The further progression of all water services capital projects, including confirmation that funding will be available to progress those projects, is a matter for Irish Water.
