Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht

Establishment of Uisce Éireann: Discussion with Bord Gáis Networks

4:35 pm

Mr. Michael G. O'Sullivan:

We are still in discussion on the nature and form of funding we expect to come from the NPRF. The expectation is that it will be provided to us on normal commercial terms and rates. Those discussions are ongoing and we would hope to conclude an arrangement with the NPRF to support, at least in the short term, what we need to do in respect of the metering programme.

Those discussions are ongoing.
