I also ask Bord Gáis to revert to the committee separately and provide me with the details of how these positions were backfilled and the salary rates.

I will conclude with a brief question on something that happens a great deal in urban areas where there is a single feed to two or three houses which, therefore, cannot be metered. Another point is that in Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick, in particular, apartment dwellers are used to paying their utility bills individually. However, my understanding is that the proposal from Irish Water is to have a single levy and that it will not be possible to meter apartments. Can this issue be dealt with and, if so, can a timeframe be given for how this might happen?
