View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 28 and 100 together.
The Programme for Government commits to establishing a new procedure for large developments where Developers can meet with local authority planners and Uisce Éireann on site to iron out issues at preplanning stage.
My Department has commenced discussions with Uisce Éireann in the first instance on the implementation of this commitment, with a view to engaging with the local authority sector thereafter.
