Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage
Housing Delivery, Service and Supply: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Angela Ryan:
Obviously our goal, as an infrastructure provider, is to not say no to connections. It is worth noting that we have a very good rate of less than 0.3% refusals on connection applications. It is becoming increasingly difficult, particularly within the greater Dublin area, because we really are running out of road with our existing asset base but we are continuously trying to bring on new interim projects. For instance, with our wastewater networks we have got a number of network projects where we are trying to reduce groundwater infiltration into the networks. Again, that frees up a little bit of capacity in terms of housing.
