Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 February 2023
228. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will outline the current situation regarding a project (details supplied) in County Cork; and if funding has been secured for the project in 2023. [7810/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraI previously announced an allocation of funding for individual projects across ten local authorities. This was a first tranche of funding under the Multi-Annual Developer Provided Water Services Infrastructure Resolution Programme. Details in this regard can be accessed on my Department’s website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/publication/98ed6-developer-provided-water-services-infrastructure-dpi/.
In respect of the individual projects funded, it is now a matter for the relevant local authorities to have these projects completed.
I also announced a further number of demonstration projects including one in the location of the details supplied. Each of these projects are more complex in nature and require further information and examination before being reviewed by an Expert Panel.
The independent Expert Panel has been tasked with reviewing the applications and to make recommendations for each in respect of funding under the Programme. Once I have received a submission from the Expert Panel, I expect to be in a position to make an announcement on funding allocations shortly.
