Ms Yvonne Harris:

The first mover has been an issue for the development community since the establishment of Uisce Éireann. I am not sure what happened before the establishment of Uisce Éireann. The developer has had to invest as the first-mover for all this time. What we spent the past two years engaging with the CRU on are options around how we might refund or rebate that first-mover. We had three options put to the regulator. The regulator has made a decision now that the shared quotable rebate is the option that it would like to implement.
