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.
