Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage

11:55 am

Mr. Graham Doyle:

The Deputy asked about governance structures in Irish Water, which are significant. There are a number of players. From a departmental perspective, the first and foremost vehicle for that is a shareholder expectation letter that is in place in terms of outlining the Department's relationship with Irish Water, how oversight is done etc. We work with Irish Water. We get specialist advice from NewERA on governance and things like board membership, the CEO, recruitment etc. There is a range of governance around Irish Water from the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, the Commission for Regulation of Utilities etc.
