Louth Fianna Fáil TD Erin McGreehan has welcomed new measures introduced last week that will enable builders to develop new wastewater treatment facilities in collaboration with Uisce Éireann for smaller housing developments of up to 40 homes.

Deputy McGreehan said that “this move will help unshackle home delivery from unnecessary delays in rural areas.” She added that this move by Minister Browne is the latest in a series of significant efforts underway by Government to build more homes and rapidly increase the speed at which the State delivers critical infrastructure

Speaking on the announcement Deputy McGreehan explained: "It will allow low-volume wastewater systems that serve up to 40 homes to be authorised through a registration system that is planned to be in operation by early 2026.

Deputy McGreehan spoke to us on The Agenda this morning to tell us more about this.
