Clare Developer Says Private Sector Funding Wastewater Infrastructure Construction Would "Definitely" Expedite Delivery

A Clare developer claims allowing the private sector to fund the construction of wastewater infrastructure would "definitely" speed up its delivery. Housing Minister James Browne has tabled a proposal whereby developers would be responsible for building wastewater treatment plants. Once the EPA finds that the plants meet environmental standards, they would then be taken in charge by Uisce Éireann. Ciaran Breen of Ciaran Breen Construction has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons he believes it would give developers a greater incentive to complete the project on schedule.
