Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2024: Uisce Éireann

2:00 am

Ms Maria O'Dwyer:

Perhaps we could send the Deputy a note on Drogheda in particular. With any large town, we are endeavouring to ensure those plans are in place. We might just take that away in order to give the Deputy the specifics that she would need in a note.

We work very closely with the local authorities. We have a forward planning team and we engage quite a lot in the plan-making process to ensure that we are aligned. The new Planning and Development Act has extended the length of those plans, which I think will help us all to be more aligned and to plan better for the future as well. We endeavour to share our information in terms of our capacity registers with the local authorities and they share their plans with us. In that way, we are trying to deliver in a plan-led way and find solutions in the interim if a development is moving at a faster pace than we might have anticipated.
