The Water Services (No. 2) Bill 2013, which will be discussed in the Seanad this week and in the Dáil prior to the Christmas recess, provides for the transfer of assets and liabilities which must take effect from 1 January next. It also provides the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government with the necessary power to ensure we can agree, under the service level initiative, the necessary financial provisions for the provision of funds to local authorities by Irish Water for operation and maintenance.
