Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 26 February 2026
370. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if the Raheen group water scheme in County Clare requires planning permission to replace certain piping in their system before it can be taken in charge by Uisce Éireann; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15660/26]
View answerThe requirement for planning permission is a matter for the relevant planning authority.
Raheen Group Water Scheme in County Clare has been approved funding under my Department’s Multi-Annual Rural Water Programme (MARWP) to facilitate its taking in charge by Uisce Éireann.
Each local authority has a Rural Water Liaison Officer who oversees the day-to-day implementation of MARWP and can provide up-to-date information on projects approved for funding, including any planning requirements. In this case, the officer at Clare County Council is available to provide information and can be contacted directly.
