Expenditure Issues: Irish Water - Uisce Éireann

Mr. John Barry:
It would have to be kept under review. It would have to be associated with a cost-benefit analysis. Much more important in the short to medium term is the interconnection between various centres for supply resilience. This is where the money will go in the short to medium term. We have a lot of water in the country but we need more resilience in terms of towns. Interconnectivity between regions will probably happen first, and then, possibly, interconnection between jurisdictions. The latter is probably a good distance away.
