Approval Granted for Dublin's €1.3 Billion Drainage Project
The Greater Dublin Drainage Project has received planning approval, crucial for future housing provision. Uisce Éireann's scheme will cater to half a million people in north Dublin, Meath, and Kildare, addressing the current full capacity issue at the Ringsend treatment plant.
Planning approval has been given to a major €1.3 billion drainage scheme for Dublin critical to future housing provision. Uisce Éireann received the green light for the Greater Dublin Drainage Project from An Coimisiún Pleanála. The scheme serves north Dublin, parts of Meath, and Kildare, providing wastewater treatment for half a million people.
Objectors have an eight-week window for a judicial review despite the project's planning approval. The current treatment plant in Ringsend is at full capacity, making this project crucial. Uisce Éireann's Maria O’Dwyer emphasized the project's importance due to the increasing volume of wastewater produced.
The project includes a new regional wastewater treatment facility at Clonshaugh, an underground orbital sewer from Blanchardstown to Clonshaugh, and an outfall pipe at Baldoyle. Uisce Éireann is also upgrading the Ringsend treatment plant. The Greater Dublin Drainage Project is expected to be operational by 2032, preventing potential planning rejections for homes in Dublin post-2028.
