Former Dublin City Council manager and CEO of Irish Water John Tierney will have to explain the €95million spend on the unbuilt Poolbeg Incinerator to the Public Accounts Committee..

Taoiseach Enda Kenny told reporters outside the Dáil that he expects Mr Tierney will deal with any issues that arise when he appears before PAC.

Enda Kenny:“Irish Water, as you know, is a public utility and will subject to the Freedom of Information Act and all of the expenditure issues that go along with it. So, there’s a very major project to deal with the future of our country, in terms of supply of high quality water for people and business alike. We can’t have a situation where households have to boil water everyday, we can’t have a situation where 40% of what we produce, and then you pay for is leaking into the ground. you have to have consistency and a very high standard and Mr Tierney is heading up the utility called Uisce Éireann, or Irish Water, to deliver that.”

Journalist: “And he’s the right man for the job?”

Kenny: “Well, he’s the Chief Executive of Irish Water. I have every confidence in him to do his job as expected.”
