Ms Cathy Mannion:

What we will probably do is put incentives in place with Irish Water to try to maximise payments in the domestic and non-domestic markets. As Mr. McGowan said, there will be stringent rules in place with regard to flexibility and offering customers payment arrangements with which they will actually be able to cope.

As Mr. Paul McGowan said, as in the case of non-payment in respect of gas and electricity, it would be very much a last resort that we would contemplate disconnection.
