Mr. Liam Berney:

To be perfectly honest, as I said in the statement we are prepared to look at different options of delivery in the water sector. There is a single utility in place, namely, Irish Water. It has responsibility for the delivery of the water system and does so through a contracting arrangement it has with local authorities. We can see the basis for a discussion on the development of an improved single utility which would be firmly located in the public sector and have public sector staff who would be insourced. If we are to have that discussion in a meaningful way, we need to understand what problems exist in the system in order that we can bring our members with us. They have been told to move from one place to another without any explanation.
