I ask that CER is put on our schedule, as a matter of urgency, in the context of charges in respect of Irish Water and the commission's work in that area. My queries relate to the area of Irish Water. The Commission for Energy Regulation falls directly under the remit of this committee. I do not know how my colleagues feel but I ask that an immediate invitation is extended to the CER to appear before the Committee of Public Accounts.

The type of questions that need to be considered are as follows. The type of financial appraisal or various works it has done in terms of the various options that can be put in place, in terms of charging the public, in terms of a flat rate, time periods and what work it has done. It is critical that the CER is brought before this committee as quickly as possible. With the indulgence of my colleagues, I ask that an immediate request is extended to CER to appear before this committee.
