Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services

Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government, and Department of Finance

1:30 pm

Ms Maria Graham:

On the Deputy's first point, he is correct that regarding the water conservation grant, which is not being paid in 2017, the €100 million has been netted off in the overall finances. The year we paid the water conservation grant, we had €100 million for it and then we had funding going to Irish Water. Within Irish Water, operational expenditure reflects billing costs. Again, I understand there would be a saving of about €25 million in this regard. Those are the figures.
