Ms Angela Ryan:

The local authorities have sight of the initial figures from the national planning framework. In addition, within the county development plans, there is always an additional amount of land that is zoned, so it is flexible and we can see that.

Within Uisce Éireann, we have a pre-connection inquiries service involving our connection developer services teams. We have a process whereby developers can come in to us and ask us for information about the requirements or the assets that are available in relation to specific areas. We offer that as a service.
