Episode Description
For a nation with plenty of rain we have major problems with water infrastructure. So much so that water is set to be pumped from the river Shannon to meet the surging demand for it in the capital.
According to infrastructure experts there’s a €15bn deficit in water and waste water pipes and pumps and that money has been set aside for new capital investment in the budget. Indeed Uisce Eireann which manages the water network says it needs €120bn.Speaking to Joe this morning was Paul Sheridan, Director of the Construction Industry Federation.
