Ms Angela Ryan:

There are various aspects to demand management. The UK is updating its building regulations to include more water efficient supplies. That probably needs to come into revised building regulations over time in Ireland. Uisce Éireann promotes water conservation. We are looking at running a number of pilot projects to reduce pressures in individual properties and water-saving measures. We have a water stewardship forum in which we work with business users, send teams in to audit their water use and assist them in using less water. The information on our water stewardship is available on our website, www.water.ie.
