Prior to the appointment of Bord Gáis, the Minister commissioned PwC to compile a report on the format to be used during the establishment of Irish Water. In other words, whether it should have been a stand-alone, from-the-ground-up entity or whether the offices of Bord Gáis, the ESB or Bord na Móna should have been used in the process. As already stated, I am no wiser in the aftermath of the answer I received. I hope that culture of information will change.
