The transfer to Irish Water of all contracts relating to Design Build Operate (DBO) schemes were included in two Ministerial Orders, the Water Services (No. 2) Act 2013 (Transfer of Other Liabilities) Order 2014, which was signed on 20 February 2014, and the Water Services (No. 2) Act 2013 (Transfer of Other Liabilities) Order (No. 2) 2014, which was signed on 24 April 2014. A copy of these Orders is available in the Oireachtas Library. The future progression of these contracts is now a matter for Irish Water.
Details in respect of the DBO contracts transferred are listed in the table below.
