Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Issues Affecting the Quality of Water: Discussion

Mr. Niall Gleeson:

I will take the question on funding. Ms Farrelly will take the question on staffing and alarms, while Mr. O'Leary will answer the balance.

On funding, we have a strategic funding plan which was agreed with the Government. It is a €6 billion plan, with a comprehensive list of projects and programmes. It is a significant amount of money which will cover a lot of work. There are probably areas that will not be covered under this five-year programme, but it is comprehensive.
