Ms Maria Graham:
Obviously, because the charging only begins from 1 January, on that basis the first set of invoices will be during 2015. It will be split across the different amounts with the number of households by the level of subvention. The Commission for Energy Regulation is looking at data from Irish Water on an ongoing basis and getting reports from it. It has been asked specifically by the Minister to look at consumption information, for example, like the child's allowance, to ensure that is at the appropriate level. There will be a combination of materials available to the Department to check those invoices as we get them.
