Mr. Ger Deering:

I think it should. It is a public service. In fact, it is very much still integrated, as far as I can see, into the local authorities. Even though Uisce Éireann has been set up as this independent separate body, the local authorities still play a major role from what I can see. The short answer to the Cathaoirleach's question is that I believe we should be able to deal with complaints in that area.
