Ms Shirley Groarke:

I will clarify on the FOI issue. Mr. Ó Coigligh is correct. Irish Water is already covered by FOI legislation. The lobbying Act will come under head 10 where there is consequential amendments to other legislation. The Regulation of Lobbying Act 2015 will specify Irish Water in its own right. At the moment it is comprehended by the reference to Ervia, but it will now include Irish Water in its own right.
