Oversight of Irish Water: Discussion

8:50 pm

Mr. John Tierney:

The difference with Irish Water in this case is that we have been given a one-off opportunity to recruit everybody from day one. It is one of the things that has made developing this organisation very attractive. We are not taking on a legacy organisation so we have a great opportunity to recruit the right people initially and that gives us a very strong performance advantage.
