Colm Burke (FG), Cork North-Central

I want to raise with the Minister my concern that there is no structure in place between local authorities and Uisce Éireann. If an engineer in a local authority wants to make a representation about a connection, he or she is treated in the same way as a member of the public. I ask that the Departments would sit down with Irish Water and the local authorities to set up a proper structure. I know of one housing project belonging to a local authority that is now delayed six months because we cannot get the water and sewerage connections as there is such disagreement between them. A structure must be put in place. I ask that this would be done at the earliest possible date.
