So has spoke Mr. Tierney, after a conspicuously long absence from the public eye.
He has now broken his silence to attempt a last-ditch effort to convince people that the company will be a ‘success’ and that ‘a lot has to be done to win back trust.’
He says he is committed to drive costs down and deliver a ‘first world’ water service to cater for future population growth.
He added that €5bn are needed between now and 2022 to improve the network, which he reckoned ‘it’s a huge job.’
A whole raft of sound bites to try and gain the confidence and support of a population who are well beyond caring at this point, and will not stand idle any longer.
