The 500,000 people with septic tanks are clearly excluded, as are the 300,000 people. In case an impression was given by an earlier comment, we might want to correct that.

Chapter 7 - Matters Arising from Audit of Vote 25 - Environment, Community and Local Government in Relation to Water Services (5 Feb 2015) Seán Fleming: I understand that. In the first instance, I want to deal with Irish Water. What is the value of the assets and, separately, the liabilities transferred to Irish Water? I would not expect the witnesses to have the information here but perhaps they could forward it when they have the schedule of that. It would have been coming from the local authorities under their remit to Irish Water and...

Chapter 7 - Matters Arising from Audit of Vote 25 - Environment, Community and Local Government in Relation to Water Services (5 Feb 2015) Seán Fleming: In other words, most of the assets have been funded at time of construction and there are very little liabilities. I get the picture. What is the value of the public private partnership contracts? I understand that a couple of years ago at this committee there was an estimate of about €1 billion worth of PPP liabilities, much of it being the wastewater treatment plants for contracts...

Chapter 7 - Matters Arising from Audit of Vote 25 - Environment, Community and Local Government in Relation to Water Services (5 Feb 2015) Seán Fleming: This is a figure nobody seems to be able to put their finger on. Can the committee get details of the total liability and annual operating costs? I think he will have it on a contract-by-contract basis. He will be able to list Portlaoise wastewater, for example. This is a summation of 20, 30, 40 or 50 contracts.

Chapter 7 - Matters Arising from Audit of Vote 25 - Environment, Community and Local Government in Relation to Water Services (5 Feb 2015) Seán Fleming: I am not interested in Irish Water.

It runs to about €4...
