Like many others, I have concerns about the current powers of CPO, in particular those Uisce Éireann has and its belief that the existing powers in the Planning and Development Act 2000 would cease and that similar or effective powers would not be available in the new Bill. I note there has been some engagement with the Department on the matter and I think some reassurances have been granted. However, a clear commitment to that would be welcome.
