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.

Kicking off my research journey at the #WesternGroundwaterCongress 2025 in San Diego! As a geographer at @isoewikom I’m diving into the state’s water challenges—especially the #SGMA process.
For Europe, there’s much to learn as we rethink #water management post-2027: funding mechanisms & stakeholder engagement stand out.
Next stop: UC-Davis as a Visiting Scholar to explore water-agriculture links. Excited to connect & share insights #WFD #Groundwater #Sustainability #CaliforniaWater #WaterPolicy -

Water in a heated world: only controllable by climate-resilient water management
Berlin, 11 October 2024. National and international water policy must adapt to ongoing, accelerated changes in the global water cycle and respond to them quickly and comprehensively. This is the key message of the WBGU report 'Water in a heated world', ...

The key line from Alastair Chisholm last month from CIWEM's recent Fresh Water Future report:
"Recently it dawned on me that the sad irony contained within A Fresh Water Future and its findings is that there really is nothing fresh in what it says. It has all been said before. Many times."
The consensus is here, let's see the action.

This afternoon at Water Operations for Uncertain Futures 2023 #AFPLwouf23, we've taken on the role of various stakeholders and mapped out how we might carry out the #water concept pitches from initiation to adaptation. The takeaways? The considerations involved in shaping #water #futures are #complex and involve many interactions between #society, #environment, #technology, #industry, and #governance. Some things are easy to #adapt and #change – but on the whole, creating #robust and #equitable #systems in this space takes time, conversations, many knowledges, hard choices, and careful planning. And whether we know it or not, we all depend on the care people in this space take in creating robust water futures for us all.
#AFPLwouf23 is the third workshop in the Algorithmic Futures Policy Lab series, which has been made possible with the support of the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. ANU Institute for Water Futures and #OneBasinCRC have taken the lead in planning and supporting this workshop. Thanks, also, to the Fenner School of Environment and Society, ANU School of Cybernetics, ANU Centre for European Studies, CNRS LAMSADE, and DIMACS Rutgers University.

What water futures will we create today?
In Water Operations for Uncertain Futures 2023, we've already seen many possible visions of what our water futures might look like and how we can begin to shape them through #transdisciplinary practice, thanks to yesterday's excellent opening panel chaired by Katherine Daniell, including panelists David Kennewell, Nicola Ulibarri, Karen Hutchinson, Julianne Quinn, and Jasmin Zatarain Salazar from TU Delft. This morning, we're hearing the concept pitches we'll be working on collectively today -- each of which is an opportunity to shape our water futures with help from the knowledges of all our workshop participants.

"The highly anticipated State Water Task Force Report is flowing towards the public. After months in the making, dozens of sets of eyes, and waves of approvals, the Final Report of the #NewMexico #WaterPolicy and Infrastructure Task Force is on display.
"Its goal is to highlight the biggest issues plaguing the state’s #water supply right now, and ways to fix them before the water problems being created by #climatechange go from manageable to cataclysmic.

"Federal Emergency Management Agency often spends tens of billions of dollars for hurricane disasters less damaging than a collapse of the Colorado River system would be."
Save vs spend: always a tough call. What's the planetary equivalent of a 401k fund?
