Uisce Éireann Project Stages
The Public Spending Code, published in December 2019, sets out the rules and procedures on expenditure on capital projects across the Irish public service. The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage issued the “Water Services Sector Specific Guidelines on the Public Spending Code: Management of Public Investment in Irish Water” on 19 July 2022. As a body in receipt of public funding, we must comply, as appropriate, with the relevant requirements of the Public Spending Code.
The Public Spending Code has a multi-stage approvals process to facilitate the delivery of a capital project and we align our internal approvals process to these project lifecycle stages. The project stages must be adhered to and are subject to procurement, planning, legal and environmental regulations.
While we allocate the necessary funding and resources to projects, it takes a number of years to bring a project through all of these stages.
