The ratio will come down. The overall headcount is increasing. As a public representative on the ground, I find it more difficult to deal with an Uisce Éireann employee. I know from speaking with them individually that they will say they are covering larger areas and they are stretched more than they were a number of years ago. How can an increasing workforce with individuals on the ground seeming to be more stretched be squared? Is Uisce Éireann employing more administrators or are we employing more people on the ground to get jobs done?
