Subsection (3), which sets out the powers of the advisory body. It reads: "The Advisory Body shall, in so far as is consistent with the proper performance of its functions, endeavour to secure administrative cooperation between it and the Commission, the Agency, Ervia". Ervia is a separate company and should have nothing to do with Irish Water. It is a parallel company, but I would be concerned about the implications of this subsection. I would like to understand why it has been included.
