Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Infrastructure Provision and Residential Developments: Discussion
Mr. Alan Rossiter:
It is 23 days or 24 days. That is an average. That is from when the certificate comes in until we get that constructed. With the large developments, early engagement with developers is very impactful. For example, the scale of the step change that we experienced last year was an increase in excess of 70% in new connections in the south-east region, which includes Dublin city and Dublin south, which is a very substantial increase. We really targeted resourcing at that and internally, plus we now also have multi-year large framework contracts set up that would also deliver these connections. The Deputy asked what would this mean for the future. I am very confident that there will be faster connections and greater engagement with the developers.
