People find it very difficult to understand how we could be losing 37% of water out of pipes yet proceed with a project to bring water from the Parteen Basin to Dublin, which is earmarked to cost about €6 billion. Given the inflation associated with capital infrastructural projects in this country, it would be very brave to say that the project will come home at €6 billion. Would it not be better to make sure that we start saving the water from leakages from pipes in the city before we travel the country with it?
