Looks like they're going ahead with this project and expect plans to be submitted in 2017.
Seems like a mighty job of work to deliver something we're literally swimming in most of the year.
I may be missing something but I'm curious why they can't build reservoirs like they do in other cities,how does London manage for example,do they pipe water from Wales?
It may make perfect sense,but appears to be another massive waste of money.

The plan from what I heard is to build a reservoir in Tipperary that siphons from a basin near Limerick and then it gets pumped to dublin.

Wast of money imo considering how much is being lost through the pipes currently.

Why do we not spend the time and money fixing all the leaks and if then we still have problems look in this direction?

If they construct massively expensive infrastructure now, it will make it more attractive when Irish Water is eventually privatised.

That's been scrapped apparently.

Same old same old. Like someone buying a shiny new car but claiming not to have the money to pay for food day to day. Priorities - They have them, and who are we to question them? Even if they are completely wrong.
