It would be good to get information on the Department's relationship with the setting up of Irish Water. How will it tally with what I understand will be the commercial rates bill that the Department will pick up, which would be payable by any commercial semi-state organisation to local authorities in respect of assets in their area? How has the Department estimated what might be payable? Was it based on a percentage of the value of the assets? If the figure is available on a county-by-county basis on the estimate of the rates, I would like to see it. Otherwise, the Department could supply it later.
