Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2024: Uisce Éireann

2:00 am

Mr. Sean Laffey:

We did an initial survey. These are very rough figures but between 20% and 25% of those DPIs are actually maintained to a greater or lesser extent. In fact, in a number of situations when we went to meet residents who were looking after their own DPIs, they did not want us involved and did not want them taken into public ownership on the basis that as long as they were in private ownership they could decide who would connect to them and they could control development.
