EIB provides funding for water and wastewater improvements in Ireland

摘要

The EIB is to provide €200 million ($268.4 million) to support improvements in Ireland's water services investment programme (WSIP) by financing 23 projects in Dublin and ten counties around the country to provide new water mains, water and wastewater treatment facilities and reservoirs, as well as measures to improve water conservation. Minister for the environment, community and local government Phil Hogan TD said: 'I am delighted that the EIB has decided to support my department's water services investment programme with a loan of €200 million which will assist in funding 23 water projects. It is an indication of the bank's confidence in the Irish state and our recovery programme and is a good signal for securing third party financing in the future.
