- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Water Tariffs: Commission for Energy Regulation (21 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: I accept that, but given that the CER knows the rate at which meters will be installed, did it consider extending the current model up to 31 December 2016?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Water Tariffs: Commission for Energy Regulation (21 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: Why not?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Water Tariffs: Commission for Energy Regulation (21 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: I have a very short question. Did CER consider allowing the current model to run for everyone for longer? Up to the end of 2015 or the end of 2016, people would have their charges capped based on the model that has been put in place. It is a very straightforward thing. People would have absolute certainty about what they pay up to the end of 2016. At that point, 80% of the meters would...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Water Tariffs: Commission for Energy Regulation (21 Oct 2014)

- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 82 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Financial Management and Reporting for Fishery Harbour Centres (16 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: The 2007 accounts were effectively the responsibility of the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources. Is that a fair comment?
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 82 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Financial Management and Reporting for Fishery Harbour Centres (16 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: They were the responsibility of the staff of that Department, who issued a qualified report. The accounts from 2008 onwards were the responsibility of what is now the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Those accounts are qualified up to 2011. The 2006 accounts, under the aegis of the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, are in effect unqualified. In...

- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 82 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Financial Management and Reporting for Fishery Harbour Centres (16 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: Okay. The organisation is worth €5 million, it is taken over, but seven years later those who have taken it over still have not got their act together. How would Mr. Moran feel about that?
