In my first round I addressed the connection issues. One of the key difficulties Uisce Éireann faces as an organisation is water and wastewater legacy issues in Celtic tiger developments that have not been taken in charge. What is the position of Uisce Éireann? Is it a case that Uisce Éireann is saying they are nothing to do with it, these are developments that occurred 15 years ago, and in many cases no developer exists anymore? Is it the case that Uisce Éireann as an organisation will not get involved until such a time as the development is up to standard and ready for taking in charge? What is the position of the organisation?
