Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Citizens' Assembly Report on Biodiversity Loss: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Fintan Towey:
I will take wastewater or discharges of raw sewage. When Uisce Éireann was established in 2014, there were 50 instances. There are still 26 instances. That is not acceptable, but 20 of those will be resolved by the end of 2025, and the remaining six by the end of 2028. The Senator also mentioned growth. There is problem solving on the one hand, and on the other hand they are investing to facilitate growth. Uisce Éireann has an extensive programme in that regard.
