Glanworth wastewater plant
Deputy O’Keeffe said Irish Water had indicated Glanworth wastewater treatment plant would be included in a tender process but it now appeared to have been dropped. The Tánaiste said he knew the village but not the current status, and undertook to ask the Minister to reply.
On 19 January, the Minister of State, Deputy McEntee, spoke here. I congratulate her on being a member of the Tánaiste's Brexit team. On that day, she spoke on behalf of the Minister, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, about wastewater treatment plants in north Cork. Irish Water gave her a commitment that Glanworth wastewater treatment plant would be incorporated into a building tender process but in the last week or two, it seems to have fallen out of this bundle. The local authority, Cork County Council, is interested in this village. It has committed to build 14 local authority houses and a local builder has agreed to do that. He cannot get the go-ahead until the treatment plant is upgraded. I ask the Tánaiste to intercede.
Comment on this
I know Glanworth very well but I am not familiar with where Irish Water is in delivering that wastewater treatment plant. I can pass it on to the Minister and ask him to come back to the Deputy.
