Irish Water, Uisce Éireann will have responsibility for the development contributions scheme, which at present is collected by each individual local authority. Some local authorities give a discount for developments with rainwater harvesting.

If we are looking for economic drivers and things like that, money also drives solutions. It would be important for the witnesses to talk to representatives of Irish Water on that aspect - even with harvesting. The obvious place to start is with the innovative things that could happen in the context of those development contributions.
