A long-awaited wastewater scheme in East Clare is said to be "on the long finger" with "no definitive start date". Ahead of this month's meeting of Killaloe Municipal District, Whitegate Fine Gael Councillor Pat Burke attempted to table a motion asking Uisce Éireann to provide an update on the Broadford scheme announced in December 2023 but was informed that the water utility no longer accepts motions from elected representatives. The Department of Housing announced an additional €700,000 for the project in November of last year, bringing its total allocation to €8 million. Councillor Burke says the lack of progress is frustrating.
