Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Planning for Water
Q: How is planning reform affecting delivery timelines and collaboration with local authorities?
Reform aims to streamline processes, clarify timelines, and promote early engagement among all actors, while ensuring environmental safeguards; this should reduce bottlenecks and improve predictability for developers and authorities.
Planning for Water
Q: What are the main priorities for Uisce Éireann right now?
The top priorities include delivering safe, reliable water and wastewater services, supporting housing targets, aligning plans with the National Planning Framework, addressing climate resilience, and pursuing long-term infrastructure investment.
Planning for Water
Q: Can you explain what Uisce Éireann does and how it fits into the planning system?
Uisce Éireann acts as the delivery arm of the state for water services, with responsibilities across planning, licensing, land acquisition, and infrastructure delivery, and it operates within a broader planning framework to ensure housing, economic development, and environmental goals are met.
Liam Conneally: Galway County Council Leadership
Q: How do you see the 10-year plans under the 2024 Act shaping Galway's development and public trust?
He emphasizes that 10-year plans create a framework to manage expectations, align funding with priorities, and ensure sustainable infrastructure and housing delivery, while maintaining transparency and accountability to the public.
Liam Conneally: Galway County Council Leadership
Q: What was the major transition like moving from a senior planner role to chief executive, and how did it change your perspective on decision-making?
He explains that while the core discipline remains listening and gathering inputs, the role requires front-loading information, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, and focusing on delivering decisions that are well-supported and understood by elected members and the public.
