Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

General Scheme of the Gas (Amendment) Bill 2022: Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications

Mr. Noel Regan:

There should not be. The Irish Water staff have now gone under the water services, so Ervia is essentially GNI. The approximately 700 staff will switch from Ervia to GNI under the same terms and conditions. There is a provision to make sure that their rights and everything they have are protected. That issue was dealt with in the previous legislation when the Irish Water staff left. All that now remain are GNI staff.
