Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2024: Uisce Éireann

2:00 am

Mr. Niall Gleeson:

We are slightly skewed in that we have not transferred all the local authority staff over. A lot of those would be lower grades, for example caretakers, operators. If the Deputy compares us to another organisation, we have a higher percentage of senior people. By the end of 2026, when everyone has transferred, that percentage of the higher paid will drop considerably. As Mr. McCarthy said, we are benchmarked against other authorities. We run a complex organisation. We have to hire scientists, engineers, accountants; these are not easy jobs.
