Towards a Zero Waste Approach to Water: Dublin Institute of Technology

2:40 pm

Mr. Liam McCarton:

I can answer one of the Deputy's questions by saying that we have not formally approached Irish Water as part of this discussion. As we mentioned at the outset, some of our research projects have been undertaken on behalf of local authorities. We have given presentations as part of that process. The slide we displayed earlier that related to reed beds, for example, was put together when we were making a presentation to South Dublin County Council. We have made presentations and submitted reports to the planning and engineering sections of local authorities. We have not yet approached Irish Water, however.
