Developments in the Water Sector: Discussion
Mr. Michael O'Leary:
Realistically, with the development of any infrastructure the minimum to be considered would probably be a five-year horizon. That is by the time the parties go through the various statutory processes such as identifying a site and getting planning permission, and a compulsory purchase order may be required. There is probably a timeframe that cannot really be cut. In the best-case scenario it would probably be four to five years.
