349. Deputy Michael Cahill asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to urgently commence work on the proposed sewerage scheme for Beaufort Village, County Kerry (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [68894/25]
View answerI recently announced increased funding for the Beaufort Village wastewater project, to address the village’s collection and treatment needs.
Kerry County Council, working with Uisce Éireann, have completed a reassessment of the project, including updated costs, and the Government has approved the necessary funding.
Details of the announcement can be found here: www.gov.ie/en/department-of-housing-local-government-and-heritage/press-releases/minister-browne-approves-additional-funding-of-143-million-for-wastewater-improvements-in-local-communities/.
I have written to Kerry County Council clearly setting out what is required and responsibility now rests with the Council, working with Uisce Éireann, to progress the Beaufort project and deliver it efficiently, in line with the approved funding.
