Dunsink’s Mega Project Needs Water Infrastructure | Dublin News

Dublin’s biggest housing boom is about to hit Dunsink—with 18,500 homes planned to make it the state’s largest town. But it’s not just bricks and mortar: Uisce Éireann insists massive water and sewage upgrades must come first, including a €6 billion Shannon water pipeline and a €1.3 billion drainage system for half a million people. While the drainage project got approval last year after 14 years, and the water plan was submitted in December, timelines remain uncertain. Nearby residents worry about traffic, building heights, and health risks near the old landfill—though the council plans to keep homes away and turn the landfill site into a park. Success hinges on perfect coordination between the council and Uisce Éireann to match housing with infrastructure.
