Irish Water and Commission for Energy Regulation

Mr. Michael McNicholas:
Yes, it would because we rolled out a national programme very efficiently with competitive tendering to eight different contractors. That said, we are a multi-utility and we also install gas meters. We are doing a lot of work. As stated by Mr. Grant, we would look at doing the work as efficiently as possible. For example, if we have a crew on site carrying out other work we would have the benefit of that crew but no cost in that regard in terms of getting water meters installed. If a policy decision is made to have more meters installed, we will deliver them in the most efficient way possible.
