Expenditure Issues: Irish Water - Uisce Éireann

Mr. John Barry:

They were full-time resources and we have about 100 full-time equivalents coming in. The staff were picked out of Bord Gáis, which is not a resource-heavy organisation. In some instances, those staff had to be back-filled in key roles, so we pulled them out of BGE and put them directly on the programme. I know them because I picked them out myself. They are the subject matter experts and most of them are still working on the programme right now. We did not make the 55 core staff and probably more available, even on a part-time basis.
