Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Response to National Emergencies: Irish Water

Mr. Jerry Grant:

We have set out targets for the greater Dublin area where we want to get to 30% in the first instance and to be there by 2025. We believe we will get to 25% and have an aspiration to get to 20% in the long term. I think that is probably doable but looking at the experience of British cities and British utilities in particular, we believe it will take 20 years to get there.
