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

Seán Fleming: What funding would Uisce Éireann have if it did not get the escrow account money?

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

Seán Fleming: Does Mr. Gleeson think that a 10% cumulative increase per annum to get to the €10 billion is adequate, given rising costs? That will only be a real increase in investment of 5% or something like that. Is that adequate for the increase in population?

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

Seán Fleming: So, really, we are not looking at a financial constraint here but a construction constraint. Many Irish companies will think that the UK's figures are ten times higher than ours and that there is ten times more work in the UK than there is in Ireland over the next five years.

Seán Fleming: Is Mr. Gleeson confident of that?

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

Seán Fleming: The last question was about the design, building and operation. Is that a model Uisce Éireann can go back to again?

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

Seán Fleming: For everyone's benefit, I will list in sequence the people who have indicated a wish to speak. They are Deputies Tóibín, Neville, Clendennen and O'Hara, Senator Stephenson and Deputies Sheehan and McCormack.

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

Seán Fleming: No more than that.

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

Seán Fleming: By way of clarification before I call Deputy O'Hara, is the refurbishment of the existing network considered a capital investment?

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

Seán Fleming: Can we have a breakdown of how much of the capital investment is on new network for all the new houses and industry versus refurbishment of the current network?

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

Seán Fleming: I would have thought that would be an answer the witnesses knew off the top of their heads.

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

Seán Fleming: How much are we spending on new pipes versus refurbishment? That should be one of the top figures.

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

Seán Fleming: The witnesses mentioned refurbishment.

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

Seán Fleming: That is €150 million out of Uisce Éireann's capital expenditure, which is €1.375 billion according to the note. That is only 10%.

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

Seán Fleming: Some 90% of what Uisce Éireann calls capital is new networks. Am I right?

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

Seán Fleming: Will the witnesses revert to us with the breakdown?

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

Seán Fleming: Okay.

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

Seán Fleming: The witnesses get the parameters of the question to clarify what is refurbishment versus what is new.

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

Seán Fleming: Of course.

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

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?
