The Deputy will appreciate that specific details of the investments for these bodies including in relation to funding arrangements are, in many cases, subject to considerations of commercial sensitivity. However, in overall terms it is expected that these investments will be funded by internally generated cashflow and external borrowings by the bodies involved. In the case of the capital programme for Irish Water, a mixture of Government equity/capital contributions and external finance is envisaged.
