Expenditure Issues: Irish Water - Uisce Éireann

Mr. John Tierney:

I cannot do that because there are a range of scenarios based upon whatever the charge ends up being. The position with the CER is that we have two submissions to make - one at the end of January and the other at the end of February. There is then a process between March and August, which is the latest date at which a charge must be announced for us to be able to implement for the last quarter for next year to do the first billing in January. This is part of due process and what the charge is will become apparent in due course. We will then remodel based on that charge but we are satisfied that we are using a conservative figure in €2 billion in total.
