Seán Fleming: If I picked things up right earlier, the documentation indicated that capital investment from 2020 to 2024 was about €5 billion, or about a billion euro per year. Ms O'Dwyer is now saying the investment from 2025 to 2029 will be €10 billion or €12 billion. Did she mention a figure of €40 billion for the period 2030 to 2050?
- Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Uisce Éireann: Future Work Programme (28 May 2025)
Seán Fleming: Over and above the €10 billion?
- Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Uisce Éireann: Future Work Programme (28 May 2025)
Seán Fleming: So it would be another €40 billion. If that means €40 billion over the next 20 years, it means only €2 billion per year.

Seán Fleming: What?
- Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Uisce Éireann: Future Work Programme (28 May 2025)
Seán Fleming: I was giving the outer figure, given what will be the case in 2032. In this regard, I have a suggestion for Uisce Éireann that I have made to other bodies. There are probably estimates of increasing costs expected over the next five to ten years. If, somewhere along the line, Uisce Éireann refers to the actual financial cost at completion, people will not get frightened, but they...

Seán Fleming: Where we are approaching this from is we have seen other major projects and the final cost after eight years is more than double what people were told it would be in the beginning. That is what makes them cross. People are told it will cost X, but it ends up costing Y. If they were told the final estimated cost based on the final estimated price at the end of the contract, they might take...

Seán Fleming: The witnesses know where I am coming from. That is what makes the public cross, when they hear things have gone crazily over budget, whereas if the final cost by the time of completion could be explained, at least there would not be that level of argument. Everybody is well aware of what we are talking about when we say things such as that. We have completed our business for today. I...
