Sewerage treatment for Kerry villages

Summary

Deputy Healy-Rae raises the lack of sewerage treatment plants for Scartaglin, Currow and Beaufort and asks what will be done. After a brief exchange about the promised legislation and the local question, the Tánaiste says he will seek an update and the relevant Minister may contact the Deputy.

The Government seeks to protect the environment throughout the country. Yet, there are three lovely villages in Kerry that do not have sewerage treatment plants, namely, Scartaglin, Currow and Beaufort. With Irish Water and the set-up in place, there is no way forward for these communities to access or get sewerage treatment plants. What are they going to do about it?

I can try to get an update for the Deputy. I presume it is part of the service plan for Irish Water.
