Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Water Quality and Infrastructure and Small Town and Villages Growth Programme: Discussion
Mr. Niall Gleeson:
I see no reason why we would not publish them, although we had not planned to because they are internal Irish Water reports. The EPA reports that will follow will be published because it does that as a statutory body but we are quite happy to publish our reports. We will not be hiding anything, that is for sure. These audits are knowledge audits so it is our assessment of the knowledge of the operators and their knowledge of the reporting procedures. If we are concerned, we will put Irish Water staff on the site and keep them there until we are confident that that knowledge exists.
