Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services

Irish Water and Commission for Energy Regulation

2:00 pm

Mr. Jerry Grant:

I can tell the Deputy that at the end of 2013 a huge number of projects were stalled as a result of the lack of a commitment by local authorities to go ahead with them because of the particular way they were funded at the time. There was a 25% local funding requirement.

Many projects that we took up and got going had previously been stalled. That fed into the 2014 programme and also the 2015 programme. More and more of our projects that came through in 2014-2015 are now being completed, going to site and so on.
