A Clare Government TD says he hopes the Housing Minister takes more of a role in the delivery of a vital Clare wastewater infrastructure project going forward. It comes as the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage has revealed it's progressing an interim upgrade project to address capacity constraints at the Clareabbey Wastewater Treatment Plant. It's also revealed the planned long-term upgrade of the facility won't be delivered until after 2029. Correspondence from the department to Ennis Municipal District this week said the minister has "no function in relation to operational matters" of Uisce Éireann, but Bodyke Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney believes he should take more interest.

Uisce Éireann says it expects to see "gains" over the weekend in Clare and that it doesn't foresee further water restrictions here. Overnight restrictions came into effect in Ennistymon, Lahinch, Liscannor, Doolin, Lisdoonvarna, Fanore, Ballyvaughan, Kilfenora and Kilshanny last night at 10pm and lapsed at 8am this morning. The restrictions will be in place during the same hours each night until Sunday, with the water utility due to make a decision potential further measures on Monday. Uisce Éireann Operations Manager in Clare, Darragh Conneely, claims it's unlikely they'll ask customers to restrict water beyond this point.

The Minister for Local Government claims he doesn't have a role in the delivery of an upgrade to the Clareabbey Treatment Plant.    At present, no new planning permissions can be granted for developments in Clarecastle or on the southside of Ennis as the treatment plant is at full capacity.    In written correspondence to Ennis Municipal District, Fianna Fáil Minister James Browne has said the upgrade of the facility is the responsibility of Uisce Éireann.    The correspondence was the subject of a discussion at this week's meeting of Ennis Municipal District.    Clare FM's Seán Lyons was at the meeting and spoke to Ennis Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat Daly who's previously called for an upgrade of the treatment plant.

The Cathaoirleach of the Killaloe Municipal District is hitting out at the Government for attempting to "influence" the planning decision on a controversial water extraction project. An Coimisiún Pleanála has confirmed it's delaying making a decision on Uisce Éireann's proposed Water Supply Project for the Eastern and Midlands Region for a year. The commission says it's not "possible to determine the case within the statutory objective period due to the need for further consideration of the case". Killaloe Fianna Fáil Councillor Tony O'Brien claims it was "wrong" of the Taoiseach and others in Government to make statements pushing for the approval of the plans.

Residents of Kilkee say they've been left enormously disappointed following the High Court's decision to quash a judicial review aiming to block controversial plans for a wastewater treatment plant. The Save Kilkee Cliff Walk Campaign had raised over €100,000 to take legal action against Uisce Éireann's plans to build a sewerage treatment plant in close proximity to Kilkee Cliff Walk. Reaching a decision in the High Court on Sunday, Judge Richard Humphreys said overturning the plans "would be disproportionate". Campaign Spokesperson Joanne Dillon has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan they've been left deflated by the decision but are not giving up.

The Housing Minister claims responsibility for progressing two long-awaited Clare wastewater projects lies with Clare County Council and Uisce Éireann. Responding to a parliamentary question from Meelick Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe, Minister James Browne says he's approved funding for the Broadford and Cooraclare sewerage schemes under the Multi-Annual Rural Water Programme. He says this funding "remains available" to Clare County Council and that "responsibility for progressing the projects rests with Clare County Council, working in conjunction with Uisce Éireann". Sixmilebridge Fianna Fáil Councillor Alan O'Callaghan doesn't believe the situation is as clear-cut as the Housing Minister is making it out to be.

Last week, Uisce Eireann warned that the greater Dublin area water supply is “on knife edge”.Joining Shane to discuss further is Maria O'Dwyer, Infrastructure Delivery Director with Uisce Éireann.

Contractors won't be appointed to begin major sewerage works in Broadford and Cooraclare until next year. Both villages were included in the Government's €50m pilot wastewater programme in 2024, which aims to connect unsewered settlements to the network. Uisce Éireann has confirmed consultants will finalise designs for the projects by September. Responding to Clare Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney at the Oireachtas Housing Committee, Head of Asset Management Seán Laffey says progress is being made.

Uisce Éireann has been asked to postpone any non-urgent repairs that would interrupt water supply over the next few days. For more on this Mairead Conlon, Asset Strategy Senior Manager with Uisce Éireann.

Uisce Éireann is urging consumers in Clare to conserve their water usage over an impending dry spell expected this Summer. The utility is warning that communities could experience outage in the months ahead due to an expected increase in demand for treated water. It says that simple measures such as collecting rainwater for gardening use, fixing leaks, showering instead of bathing and turning the tap off while brushing can make a major difference. Head of Water Operations Margaret Attridge says it's vital contingency supplies are available for emergency services.

Mairead Conlon, Uisce Éirean, urges people to be more conscious of how we use water.

Uisce Éireann is urging people to conserve water after demand in Dublin hit record levels during last month's hot weather, with the provider warning current usage rates are unsustainable. Speaking to Newstalk Breakfast was Uisce Éireann's Head of Water Operations, Margaret Attridge.

Uisce Éireann has urged households across the country to help conserve water in the coming months, saying demand can quickly increase as temperatures rise. Dr. Jenny Lawler from the DCU Water Institute joined Ciara and Shane to tell us how and why we should do this.

An Oireachtas committee's been told that a housing development in East Clare has been stalled for three years due to wastewater capacity issues. Kilkishen is one of three villages in Clare where according to Uisce Éireann, there's no additional wastewater capacity or projects planned to address this. In 2024, the local authority refused plans for a 60-unit scheme in the village due to sewerage deficiencies. Responding to Clare Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney, Department of Housing Deputy Secretary General Garret Doocey insists funds are being made available to rectify these problems.

Jerry spoke to Kenmare independent councillor Dan McCarthy after it emerged Kerry County Council had investigated almost 200 complaints relating to overgrown hedges. Cllr McCarthy is also seeking an update from Uisce Éireann regarding Kenmare’s new wastewater treatment plant and access to water for new housing developments.

Residents served by the Newport Water Treatment Plant have been living under a Boil Water Notice since May 20th, with many expressing frustration at the lack of clarity around when the issue will be resolved. Concerns have also been raised about communication from Uisce Éireann and the absence of alternative water supplies for affected households. The situation comes as Uisce Éireann prepares for another community engagement event on the proposed Shannon Pipeline later this month, prompting some residents to question confidence in the utility's ability to deliver major infrastructure projects. To discuss these issues, Alan Morrissey was joined by local resident Yvonne Moloney and Killaloe Fianna Fáil Councillor Tony O'Brien. Photo (c) Uisce Eireann

Ní mó ná sásta atá an Comhairleoir Contae Denis Mac Aoidh le Clár Oibre 4 bliana Uisce Éireann don chontae seo, tá pobal na Gaeltachta fágtha chun gcúil arís ag Uisce Éireann a dúirt an Comhairleoir Contae Denis Mac Aoidh agus labhair sé linn inniu faoin scéal seo.

A number of criticial water and wastewater infrastructure projects in Clare are a step closer to coming to fruition. The Commission for Regulator of Utilities' has made a determination which provides for €13.6 million in in capital investment and operational expenditure for Uisce Éireann. It means several Clare projects will be progressed, including those already underway such as the new wastewater treatment plant in Ballyvaughan and the upgrade to the plant in Newmarket-on-Fergus, along with planned developments in Kilkee, Lahinch and Ennistymon. Uisce Éireann Director of Asset Management Sean Laffey says it ensures capacity for growth within communities while also protecting the environment.

It's claimed more investment is urgently needed in West Clare's infrastructure to prevent future water consumption issues. A boil water notice is currently in place for over 740 residents in Cranny, Coolmeen and Kildysart. Uisce Éireann implemented the precaution following issues at the Kildysart Water Treatment Plant. Local Fianna Fáil Councillor Rita McInerney has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan the facility needs to be upgraded.
