Mr. John McCarthy:

There is no service level agreement in place, because the way that it is structured is that under the legislation the Commission for Energy Regulation, CER, is charged with approving all Irish Water expenditure. The CER comes to a determination in relation to what is the allowed revenue for Irish Water. A proportion of that comes from the non-domestic sector. Another proportion will come from domestic charges and, in effect, the balance is the subvention by the State for the provision of water services, the cost effectiveness of which has already been determined by the CER.
