Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government: Breach of EU Urban Wastewater Directive: Discussion (18 May 2017)

Eoin Ó Broin: Perhaps he did not understand that when he was answering the question because it is not clear from the answer. This still leaves Irish Water significantly short, if its annual investment is €124 million. The EPA stated that in the early noughties, it was approximately €300 million a year and then fell to €200 million. Now Mr. Grant is speaking about €124 million...
