Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Irish Water and Commission for Energy Regulation (12 Jan 2017)

David Cullinane: Sorry, there is no cost if it is abandoned. There is no cost if the project is ceased completely. If they are parked temporarily but at some point in the future rolled out again, that would involve a cost. Has the CER looked at whether that cost would be greater or less?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Irish Water and Commission for Energy Regulation (12 Jan 2017)

David Cullinane: That is fine. My next question is to Mr. McNicholas. Given that we are obviously focused on funding, is Irish Water of the view now that it is no longer possible to base its future funding on an off-balance sheet funding model , either in the short, medium or long term?

David Cullinane: It is obviously important to get clarity from Irish Water. Again, this question is for Mr. McNicholas.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Irish Water and Commission for Energy Regulation (12 Jan 2017)

David Cullinane: On group water schemes, the CER has noted that the Irish Water submission did not include a request for additional operating costs associated with taking in charge the group water schemes. Irish Water noted that the level of such a requirement would be dependent on a number of factors. What are those factors and has Irish Water made a recommendation to the Department or Minister in that regard?
