Uisce Éireann is developing its first National Wastewater and Drainage Plan (NWWDP), which will establish a long-term, evidence-based framework for understanding public wastewater system performance, assessing future risks and identifying planning and investment needs to 2055. The Plan will support environmental protection, sustainable growth, housing delivery and economic development, helping to ensure wastewater infrastructure continues to meet Ireland's future needs.

Public consultation on the Proposed Approach and Strategic Context and the proposed scope of the Strategic Environmental Assessment commenced 22nd October and will run until the 17th December 2026.

We are seeking your views on:
the challenges, opportunities and future trends that should shape the Plan;
the proposed approach to developing the NWWDP;
the proposed Performance Indicators;
the scope and methodology of the Strategic Environmental Assessment; and
how Uisce Éireann should communicate and engage as the Plan develops.

Feedback will inform the preparation of the Draft NWWDP and its accompanying environmental assessments. A key element of the consultation is the proposed set of national Performance Indicators, which will provide a consistent framework for assessing wastewater system performance and future vulnerability. We particularly welcome feedback on whether these indicators are clear, meaningful, and appropriate.

A link to the consultation information leaflet is below and the other consultation documents are available at www.water.ie/nwwdp.

Monaghan PPN has a number of vacant seats on committees and boards and we are looking for nominations from our registered groups.

This is a great opportunity for community, voluntary, social inclusion and environmental groups to have their voice heard and help shape decisions that affect communities in County Monaghan.

We have vacancies on the Secretariat Board that carries out the day to day running of the PPN with the PPN Staff; these are for a Member Group in either the Monaghan Municipal District, Ballybay/ Clones Municipal District or from the Environmental Pillar. A vacancy on the Transport SPC also exists for someone from a Community and Voluntary Member Group.

Please see POSTER for full details and get in touch with our Resource Worker, Carmel Murphy, to find out more.

🌿💚 GOOD NEWS FOR INNISKEEN! ❤️💚

Inniskeen Tidy Towns is delighted to announce that we have increased our score by 9 points in the 2026 SuperValu TidyTowns Competition, rising from 344 points in 2025 to an impressive 353 points this year! 🎉👏

This is a fantastic achievement and a reflection of the hard work, dedication and community spirit that make Inniskeen such a wonderful place to live.

On behalf of the Tidy Towns Committee, we would like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who helped us throughout the year. From our regular volunteers who give up their time week after week, to local residents, businesses, community groups, schools and everyone who helps to keep our village looking its best — your contribution is greatly appreciated.

We would also like to acknowledge the support and cooperation of Monaghan County Council and everyone who works alongside us to improve our village.

The adjudicator’s report recognised the excellent work being carried out in Inniskeen, particularly in our green spaces, landscaping, biodiversity and the ongoing efforts to maintain a clean and attractive village. It is wonderful to see this work reflected in our increased score.

Tidy Towns is about more than points and competitions. It is about community pride, working together and making Inniskeen a better place for everyone. 🌼🐝🌳

While there is always more to do, this result gives us great encouragement to keep building on the progress we have made.

Thank you all for your continued support. Every helping hand makes a difference, and this achievement belongs to the whole community!

💚 Well done, Inniskeen! Let’s keep up the great work! ❤️

*OVER 65’s WITH EXPERIENCE OF HOME SUPPORTS *
The ATTUNE project, led by researchers at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences and funded by the Department of Health and the Health Research Board, is exploring how home support services can better meet the needs of people aged 65 and over. Its findings will help inform future home support policy and services across Ireland.

The future of home care matters to all of us. Getting support right can make an enormous difference to an older person’s independence, dignity and ability to remain in their own home. It is essential that decisions about these services are informed by the people who use them and understand, through everyday experience, what works and what needs to change.

Please take the time to complete the survey to help inform policy and survey for those who need home support.
The survey is voluntary and anonymous. It is for people over 65 who have experience of receiving home support in Ireland. A family carer or someone they trust can complete it on their behalf.

Survey link: Attune Home Support Survey

The research team is also inviting participants to take part in a 30-minute interview about their experiences. Anyone interested can contact [email protected]. Interview participants will receive a shopping voucher as a thank you.
