Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Citizens' Assembly Report on Biodiversity Loss: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Colin Byrne:
Sorry, just two more things. There is the high level of investment in Irish Water, which Mr. Towey mentioned. Another big area is hydromorphology, which the EPA mentioned. Drainage is a big one. Regarding barriers, we are looking for €100 million to fund the mitigation, which is either the removal or mitigation of barriers. IFI will lead that. The target is 270 barriers, which it will address up to 2027. Those are the big-ticket items.
