I welcome the focus on water infrastructure because it is directly related to housing delivery. Permission being given to the greater Dublin drainage scheme is obviously very welcome, but that will have a very significant capital draw as regards funding. How will we prepare for that? Is there a concern that large scheme will use up a lot of the capital funding Uisce Éireann will have? Will it be at the cost of other schemes? How do we ensure that does not happen?
