Brian Stanley: That is understandable. I call Deputy Verona Murphy.

Brian Stanley: I thank the Deputy.

Brian Stanley: The CRU.

Brian Stanley: From Ms O'Dwyer's answer, I take it that she indicated that there would be a certain amount of synergy with local authorities and EirGrid. It is welcome to hear that because people find it frustrating when a new road is put down, and the next thing is that a year later, it is dug up again. It is one of the things that public representatives hear the whole time.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Uisce Éireann (26 Sep 2024)
Brian Stanley: I know.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Uisce Éireann (26 Sep 2024)
Brian Stanley: I know, and I take on board the points made by Ms O'Dwyer's colleague Mr. Laffey. The N11 is the example being given, and I am kind of familiar with it. It is being run down to Rosslare. Sometimes there may or may not be a need for a pipe to be put in but I think, from the replies I was following, it would appear that there is maybe not such a great connection with TII and Uisce...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Uisce Éireann (26 Sep 2024)
Brian Stanley: Of course. TII is building roads though, significant roads around the country.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Uisce Éireann (26 Sep 2024)
Brian Stanley: With regard to harmonising things and usage, I think that is important. All along the N7 at the moment, I see another set of pipes have gone in. There is machinery working there for months on it, with the lane closed off. In other words, we wind up retrofitting things in this country. Instead, EirGrid, Uisce Éireann, local authorities, TII and Eircom need to be on the one page.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Uisce Éireann (26 Sep 2024)
Brian Stanley: I understand that.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Uisce Éireann (26 Sep 2024)
Brian Stanley: I understand that.

Brian Stanley: All I can say is, "Thank God for the European Court of Justice."
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Uisce Éireann (26 Sep 2024)
Brian Stanley: I hope the Deputy was not one of the those who were in favour of handing the money back and who are now saying where we should spend it.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Uisce Éireann (26 Sep 2024)
Brian Stanley: What is the cost of new connections? This is an issue that comes up. Whether it is for one-off housing or housing schemes, the cost of connections has gone up substantially. How is that calculated? Is there a fixed amount? For example, if Joe Bloggs is building a house and needs a water connection, is there a set charge and then so much per metre charged for piping? How is that calculated?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Uisce Éireann (26 Sep 2024)
Brian Stanley: Is that 10 m from the site or from the actual building?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Uisce Éireann (26 Sep 2024)
Brian Stanley: It is 10 m from the boundary of the site. The person building the house is responsible for the connections inside the site out to the boundary. From the boundary out, if it is 10 m, how much does it cost?
