Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery
Uisce Éireann: Future Work Programme
2:00 am
Ms Maria O'Dwyer:
In terms of refusals, where we have not been able to say "Yes" to developments on pre-connection enquiries, we were saying "No" to approximately 1.2% of those units and on the connection applications it was 0.3%. Our teams are very much minded to say "Yes" where we can. That does not mean that there are not certain towns and villages where we do not have capacity, but we are endeavouring to ask the development community to engage early with us. If they engage early, we might not be able to develop in this town this year, but we will be able to point them to other locations where we do have capacity.
