Towards a Zero Waste Approach to Water: Dublin Institute of Technology

Mr. Liam McCarton:
The Senator raised issue about Irish Water, Uisce Éireann. A point reinforced by the international studies is that the way forward is to partner strong research and development with community. That is the reason we mentioned the concept of working pilot projects. We need to tease out issues through working pilots and innovations. The strong research and development phase will come through in a relatively short timeframe.
