Seán Fleming: I have a few very quick questions. Reference was made to what would occur if Uisce Éireann got a planning exemption for schemes for some of the small towns and villages. How much time would that shave off a project? If Uisce Éireann had a exemption and brought in a pre-approved modular, standardised unit, how much time would it shave off a project in practical terms?

Seán Fleming: But if Uisce Éireann got its exemption, it would knock off, say, two or three months. Reference was made to what would occur if some planning exemptions were got.

- Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Uisce Éireann: Future Work Programme (28 May 2025)

- Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Uisce Éireann: Future Work Programme (28 May 2025)
Seán Fleming: Which would be phenomenal.
- Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Uisce Éireann: Future Work Programme (28 May 2025)

Seán Fleming: The delegates said at one stage that they do not have a growth mandate. What does that mean?
- Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Uisce Éireann: Future Work Programme (28 May 2025)
Seán Fleming: Rather than the supply of water-----
- Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Uisce Éireann: Future Work Programme (28 May 2025)
Seán Fleming: Quality before quantity.
- Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Uisce Éireann: Future Work Programme (28 May 2025)
Seán Fleming: In other words, it is not that Uisce Éireann does not have the mandate but that it does not have the funds.
