It is interesting that the last question was about water quality. The Government has a pilot scheme in place of €50 million to provide sewerage infrastructure to unsewered rural villages. In County Clare, two projects have been put forward: Broadford in the east of the county and Cooraclare in the west of the county. Both projects are essential in villages which have no infrastructure and cannot grow. They very much want to play their part in future housing provision, bringing people back and revitalising rural areas but they cannot grow without the sewerage schemes. I understand a decision is imminent. I would like to hear more today about what is ahead and would like the Government to try its best to give the green light or thumbs up to provide the funding for Broadford and Cooraclare. They have had too many false dawns. They need this sewerage infrastructure and the investment.

The small villages growth schemes by Uisce Éireann are a matter and operational issue for the organisation. They are excellent schemes and are having a real impact in rural communities, notwithstanding the challenges in some areas of trying to get confirmation to proceed with projects. This is a matter we will take up with Uisce Éireann.
