I have a very short question. Did CER consider allowing the current model to run for everyone for longer?

Up to the end of 2015 or the end of 2016, people would have their charges capped based on the model that has been put in place. It is a very straightforward thing. People would have absolute certainty about what they pay up to the end of 2016. At that point, 80% of the meters would be installed. There is a high level of uncertainty among the public at the moment. Can the CER examine whether the current financial construct of Irish Water would work if that model were extended to the end of 2015 or 2016?
