Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Housing Delivery, Service and Supply: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Niall Gleeson:

No, not per annum. Over the five years it is a total of €2 billion. As regards the additional ask, we are guided mainly by compliance projects. We will go into towns where there is an issue with the water infrastructure. The local plant might be polluting or the drinking water might contain THMs or something else. We will do a compliance project in those cases. We do not typically go in and do a growth-for-growth's sake project. We want to take the €2 billion and use it for dedicated growth projects, such as running out networks, running out infrastructure, upgrades and getting more out of the existing plants.
