Ms Maria Graham:

The €439 million is a net figure, taking account of the fact that there would have been revenue coming in from the non-domestic sector and it had some downward adjustment in moving to Irish Water as part of the Estimates process.

The total cost in 2013 of operating public water services was approximately €721 million in local authorities.

In 2015, the payroll costs of local authorities within Irish Water was €263 million. My recollection is there are three broad terms: the DBO contracts; the payroll costs; and energy and chemicals, which are the other two big factors within it. We had an analysis at one stage of that breakdown. It was in the PwC report, which we can get and pass on to the committee.
