Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I thank Deputy McCarthy for raising the issue of Shanagarry, which is famed for its pottery and so on. I will raise the issue with Uisce Éireann. There is a town and villages scheme, as the Deputy knows, that had limitations regarding funding. There is engagement, and a memorandum is being worked up, it is my understanding, by Irish Water in respect of local developers that are developing a particular housing site being in a position to develop its own wastewater treatment plant in accordance with the specifications laid down by Uisce Éireann and then to be inspected thereafter. However, it cannot be the case that villages are just left with no proactive engagement with them, given the plight in which they find themselves.
