We all agree we need better water services and to ensure the system is upgraded to address leakage levels. We also agree that it is important that if a large municipal centre in one local authority area can service a broader hinterland in another, then synergies between the two local authorities should be encouraged. That can be achieved through the service level agreement being in place.

I note, however, the Minister has not ruled out the potential that within the 12-year period, after agreement between all parties, the assets could be fully transferred to Uisce Éireann.
