Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery

Uisce Éireann: Future Work Programme

2:00 am

Mr. Niall Gleeson:

That was a local authority model but we have the expertise now to run the plants. We will issue contracts on a design and build basis. We might have the contractor or supplier operate for a year or two, while it is bedding in the commissioning period, but then we take over. The original design, build and operate contracts had 20-year lifespans. Ours will be very short.

Generally, we are a direct label model and that is how we plan to operate.
