This figure included the additional €200m which the Minister secured from Government last week “I welcome this substantial programme which will see progress and the delivery of  380 water infrastructure  projects  nationwide.

I have said time and time again that an investment in water services is an investment in jobs and this package will see up to 15,000 jobs sustained and created over the period of the programme. It will also assist in providing for much needed serviced zoned land to assist in attracting businesses and the supply of much needed housing in every county throughout the state.
