Chambers Ireland Welcomes Approval for Greater Dublin Drainage Project

Chambers Ireland welcomes the decision by An Coimisiún Pleanála to approve the Greater Dublin Drainage Project, a critical piece of national infrastructure that will support the sustainable development of the Greater Dublin Area and surrounding counties.

The project will provide essential wastewater treatment capacity for the equivalent of half a million people across north Dublin, Meath and Kildare. It will also enhance the development potential of Dublin and parts of the surrounding counties by delivering new infrastructure that eases pressure on the existing wastewater network.

Ian Talbot, Chief Executive of Chambers Ireland said:
“The Greater Dublin Drainage Project is a keystone investment for the State and is an example of the essential large-scale projects so urgently required to unlock housing delivery and enable the State to grow sustainably and competitively.”

Chambers Ireland recognises the importance of long-term planning and investment in core infrastructure. The delivery of this and other delayed critical infrastructure projects is vital to ensure that Ireland remains an attractive place to live, work and invest.”
