Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 November 2022
273. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of group sewerage schemes that were approved funding in each county in the years 2020, 2021 and to date in 2022, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [56341/22]
View answerMy Department's Multi-annual Rural Water Programme 2019-2021 included a measure to fund Community Waste Water Connections (previously called Public Group Sewerage Schemes), Measure 6(b). This measure aims to facilitate the continued expansion of central waste water collection systems by extension off the public (Irish Water) network where it is technically and economically viable to do so.
Allocations under this scheme were announced in October 2019 and a circular issued at the time to local authorities provided details in tabular format of all projects being funded and their allocations. The circular is available on my Department's website at the link: www.gov.ie/en/circular/cf807-circular-l219-approval-of-schemesprojects-under-the-multi-annual-rural-water-programme-2019-2021-and-grant-allocations-to-local-authorities-for-2019/
No further funding allocations have been made.
