Text

The Department's consultation document acknowledges that, in many cases, developers may pass on the cost of those contributions to customers and, therefore, make houses more expensive. Does the Minister accept that other funding models are available to help Northern Ireland Water that do not risk making our housing crisis worse or pricing lower-income families out of housing ownership?
