Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

We have significantly increased investment in wastewater treatment plants since the Government was formed. Investment in wastewater treatment has been consistent over the years. I do not have the specific data on the progress of the one the Deputy identified in Cavan. The Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform, Deputy Donohoe, and his predecessor, the Minister, Deputy Michael McGrath, gave particular attention to the allocation to Uisce Éireann in respect of capital allocation to try to get these plants built more quickly. The Deputy is correct. There is a clear connection between that and getting housing developed.
