Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Water Services Separation Bill 2021: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (28 Sep 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: ...method of establishing a public utility. We should reflect on that and the serious mistakes that were made in the establishment of Irish Water. That has a cost. There is an estimated cost of €5 million outlined for this process. Can Mr. Ó Coigligh assist the committee in breaking down where that €5 million will go?

Emer Higgins: ...this Bill. That is something that we, as a nation, need to strive more towards when it comes to every body, and Irish Water is no different. I would like for us to be talked through the €5 million set-up cost, the budget and where and how it will be allocated.
