Oversight of Irish Water: Discussion
7:10 pm
Mr. John Tierney:
Irish Water has been established as a subsidiary of Bord Gáis and it has adopted its pay model. There are very valid reasons for the pay model. We have talked about technology and process but we need the people to drive that process. The pay model has moved away from incremental pay and includes a pay freeze as well. That has resulted in a lower-cost model.
