1/ @IrishWater: you just held a webinar on your draft Water Resources Management Plan
Kennedy Analysis has reviewed your plan: it is littered with inconsistencies/errors/inappropriate methodology.
We submitted multiple questions for today's Q&A: you did not answer a single one

2/ You purported to address our question on outage but your response failed to answer the only thing actually being asked: you are applying a 5% "outage" allowance: but 5% of WHAT? In the hundreds of pages you have published you do not answer this key question. In the
3/ past you have been crystal clear: any provisions in a water demand assessment for (i) headroom, (ii) peaking and (iii) outage should be applied to "accounted for water" only - they should NOT be applied to total "distribution input" because they should not apply to (a) leakage
4/ and (b) any strategic industrial allowance.
Yet in this new document you have made a U-turn.
You go against what you yourselves have repeatedly acknowledged to be international best practice. You apply headroom and peaking to total DI. This is entirely inappropriate.

5/ As for outage, the document is so wanting that it does not even state what outage is derived from: 5% of WHAT? Your purported response today studiously avoided answering the only thing being asked.
6/ You suggested, just before you abruptly cut off the Q&A and ended the webinar without answering our questions, that we should email our questions to you.
That is all well and good, except that you have a history of ignoring questions that we ask about your projects by email.

7/ We will email you our questions. We will also tweet them out and update twitter if and when you actually answer them.
This project will cost taxpayers a huge amount of money. It is vital that you do not make errors in your analysis, as you have a history of doing.
