Public Accounts Committee

Oversight of Irish Water: Discussion

8:00 pm

Mr. John Tierney:

-----through the capital offices and there is a number of engineering firms already taken on as part of those projects so they come over in-flight. This is what we will be aiming to do over time, both with the capital expenditure - we quoted this figure last night in terms of trying to drive efficiencies. Currently, €310 million is going to be invested this year. We want to get the value of that up to €650 million but we only want to spend €450 million for that value. That is the level of efficiency that we are seeking to drive out of this over a number of years.
