Barry Cowan had accused the company of attempting to take the money back in the Dail during the week
The ESB has rejected a suggestion made in the Dail this week that it is seeking a refund of five million euro it promised to the Just Transition fund.
Former Agriculture Minister Barry Cowan claimed that the semi-state company had applied to the Energies Regulator to reclaim the money it had promised last March to offset the impact of the closure of the Lanesboro and Shannonbridge power plants.
The Offaly TD also claimed that no jobs had been created out of the plans and just over €160,000 euro had been claimed successfully so far.
Clare customers to benefit from extension of Irish Water’s First Fix free scheme to tackle leaks
April 29, 2021
MORE Clare householders can now benefit from Irish Water’s free leak repair service following approval by the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) to extend the scheme. In approving Irish Water’s proposals, the CRU recognises the success of the scheme in reducing leakage and safeguarding water supplies.
The First Fix scheme is a key element of the national Leakage Reduction Programme which is addressing the serious problem of leakage in Ireland’s water network. The scheme provides customers with support in identifying and fixing leaks. Irish Water offers a free leak investigation and, when a potential leak has been identified, a free repair to a leak detected on an external supply pipe on the customer’s property.
Greater clarity on Irish Waterâs âremedial action listâ of problematic water supplies that pose the most risk to consumers is required, the Water Advisory Body (WAB) has said.
In its latest report, the board acknowledges progress was made last year but says there were nine water supplies on the remedial action list at the end of the year âfor which Irish Water had not submitted a completion dateâ.
The list drawn, up by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is a register of public water supplies with the most serious deficiencies. Irish Water is required to take corrective action to ensure the safety and security of the supplies.
