Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Regulation of Gas Industry: Discussion

9:30 am

Ms Sheenagh Rooney:

Primarily, the entity we regulate in that regard is Gas Networks Ireland. As I said, it is important that, first, it is made safe and, second, the public are aware that if there is a safety issue they should contact a registered gas installer. Those are the key messages we are trying to convey. In addition, if there is an incident where, for example, there is a fatality, injury or damage to property, there is a legal requirement to notify us. We investigate all incidents that are notified to us. We also investigate all incidents involving carbon monoxide. We follow up on all incidents that come to our attention.
