Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Housing Delivery, Service and Supply: Discussion (1 Jul 2025)

Eoin Ó Broin: Before Uisce Éireann deals with the final question about the planning priority and the consents, I will throw in a question for Mr. Tarrant to answer after that.
