Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

The short answer is that there will not be any issues. The regulatory framework is working at pace. That pace will not stall in any way the investment that Uisce Éireann is required to make. Uisce Éireann is funded by the Exchequer and through non-domestic bills. Part of the reason for increasing the price from October is to ensure that Uisce Éireann can continue to invest at pace in infrastructure for in new housing and whatever else is needed under the national development plan. The regulatory framework is in no way an impediment to the pace of infrastructure delivery.
