undefined | Uisce Éireann board sought pay rises to bring CEO Niall Gleeson’s salary up to €370,000
The board of Uisce Éireann, Ireland’s public water utility, has submitted a remuneration proposal that would raise chief executive Niall Gleeson’s salary to €370,000. The plan calls for a series of incremental pay rises spread over three years, with the board arguing that the current level of compensation has fallen behind market standards for executives in comparable utilities.
Government documents obtained by the Irish Independent show the board’s justification centres on aligning Gleeson’s pay with private‑sector benchmarks and retaining senior talent in a highly regulated environment. The proposal outlines specific percentage increases each year, culminating in the €370,000 figure, and was presented to the minister responsible for water policy as part of the utility’s annual budget review.
The suggestion has drawn public attention, with commentators questioning whether the increase is appropriate for a publicly funded entity. While the board maintains the raise is necessary to stay competitive, critics argue that the cost should be balanced against the water utility’s service obligations and the broader economic climate. The debate continues as the remuneration plan awaits final approval.

Let the Good Times Flow (Eventually)

If you’ve been anywhere near Grand Parade in Cork lately, you’ll know the scene: hoarding, fencing, traffic cones, and that slightly bewildered look on everyone’s face as they try to work out which footpath is still open this week.
This is what it looked like 2 weeks ago when a sewerage pipe was laid across Nano Nagle Bridge to Sullivan’s Quay.
I found out that Uisce Éireann is working in the area:
Uisce Éireann is commencing works in the Grand Parade area of the city to make improvements to Cork City’s wastewater infrastructure.
The works will allow access for specialist contractors to the underground Pump Station located on Grand Parade, for removal of redundant equipment, cleaning of the pumping station and removal of historical debris. It will afford further opportunities to survey and inspect the existing structure and
will provide resilience for the continuation of critical wastewater infrastructure improvements within Cork City.Works are due to commence in January 2026.
The section of works will take place on a short section of Sullivans Quay, across Nano Nagle Bridge and along Grand Parade.
The works will be carried out on behalf of Uisce Éireann by Ward and Burke Construction Ltd. and are expected to be completed by mid-March 2026.
In February 2007 the Grand Parade was a construction site too. That was when the wide pavements were laid, along with the makeover of St. Patrick Street too.

Weekend Water Worries
My heart sank a little last week when I received notice that Uisce Éireann would be doing major repairs to a main water pipeline in the Greater Dublin area over this bank holiday weekend. The planned works involved replacing an entire section of one of the main water pipelines, which would potentially disrupt the supply to a wide area, as demonstrated on this map:
Only a relatively small area was to have its drinking water supply cut off entirely, but residents in the rest of the shaded area above (which includes Maynooth) were requested to conserve water so as not to use up all the water already in the system that would not be replenished while the main was being replaced and a warning was in place about possible disruption to the water supply. I was worried that this might get very awkward if the works overran. Fair play to Uisce Éireann, though, because the works were completed on time earlier today. I haven’t noticed any disruption at all.
P.S. I have done my bit to help conserve water over the weekend by drinking only wine and beer.
