Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services

Public Water Forum

1:30 pm

Dr. Suzanne Linnane:

I would like to see a commitment to sustaining the whole community engagement process. While it was a great start, there are only three co-ordinators and 12 people working on the ground. Significant resources are needed to deliver effective community engagement and education packages, particularly if one wants to sustain it over the long term. We need to be aware of that and have it built into any programme.
