Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Issues Surrounding Water Quality and Supply: Discussion
Mr. Niall Gleeson:
Yes, I am concluding now. We welcome our budget this year, which is €1.5 billion. We expect to spend €1.1 billion on capital this year and €1.2 billion next year. We are investing considerable amounts of money in capital around the country. It is difficult to address everything at the same time and it is difficult for our supply chain to keep up because we keep increasing our spend. We started off at €400 million and we are now at €1.2 billion. It is incremental. We are trying to address as many issues as we can in as short a time as possible but the challenges are enormous.
