Mr. Joe McGrath:

My apologies, that is an interesting question. We looked at this and examined the relevant legislation. If that was possible, we would do it. However, I am not too sure that would resolve Mr. Coskeran's problem, because the issue of most concern to him relates to the DPI. Our understanding of the way the legislation is written is that the taking-in-charge process requires that the entirety of services be taken in charge. That means roads, open spaces, public lighting and water services. since 2014, responsibility for water services lies with Irish Water. All of the others fall within our responsibility. That is according to the legislation, which was written many years before the establishment of Irish Water and the situation we find ourselves in.
