- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: NewERA, National Treasury Management Agency (7 Feb 2017)
Eoin Ó Broin: Assuming nothing is changing this year, what will the annual cost be?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: NewERA, National Treasury Management Agency (7 Feb 2017)
Eoin Ó Broin: Another €20 million is added to the €34 million, so it is about €54 million. Is there a figure for the difference between the cost of the finance between 2018 and 2021 from the original business plan versus option three?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: NewERA, National Treasury Management Agency (7 Feb 2017)
Eoin Ó Broin: Is the figure of €14 million an annual or cumulative figure for the years 2018 to 2021?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: NewERA, National Treasury Management Agency (7 Feb 2017)
Eoin Ó Broin: From my understanding, depending on the outcome of this committee and the deliberations of the Government, Irish Water is considering returning to the application for the off-balance sheet status in 2018 or 2019. There are two issues connected to that. When the Department of Finance representatives came before the committee some weeks ago, Deputy Murphy asked them a question on EUROSTAT....

Eoin Ó Broin: I ask Ms Fitzpatrick to put the term "economically significant prices" in plain English.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: NewERA, National Treasury Management Agency (7 Feb 2017)
Eoin Ó Broin: In trying to work out the economic cost, the level of borrowing projected for capital investment would have to be taken into account. If one water utility had a very low level of projected borrowing, that would impact on how EUROSTAT viewed that test, whereas a very high level, such as in the case of Irish Water, could also have an impact.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: NewERA, National Treasury Management Agency (7 Feb 2017)
Eoin Ó Broin: Will the capital funding post-2019 remain on or off-balance sheet? Would Irish Water be able to sustain the projected capital investment post-2019 within the existing debt rules that have been subscribed if the figure is on-balance sheet?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: NewERA, National Treasury Management Agency (7 Feb 2017)
Eoin Ó Broin: This is my last question to the Department. One of the issues the committee has to consider is that of a charge for excess or wasteful use of water. There are two relevant questions that I think we are all interested in. Depending on where one pegs average household or personal use, what would be the potential revenue stream from it versus the cost of administering such a scheme?...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: NewERA, National Treasury Management Agency (7 Feb 2017)
Eoin Ó Broin: Has the Department started looking at the issue? Can it provide the committee any information on it?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: NewERA, National Treasury Management Agency (7 Feb 2017)
Eoin Ó Broin: Thank you, Chairman.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: National Federation of Group Water Schemes (7 Feb 2017)
Eoin Ó Broin: I am happy for these questions to be added to those to get a written reply if that is necessary.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: National Federation of Group Water Schemes (7 Feb 2017)
Eoin Ó Broin: I also wish to emphasise that, whatever the outcome of the committee, there has to be absolute parity between those in group or private water schemes and those not in them. That is probably the priority for all of us in this particular discussion. One of the things I was interested in asking about, and again a written response is fine, is the gap between the subvention and the actual cost....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: National Federation of Group Water Schemes (7 Feb 2017)
Eoin Ó Broin: Exactly; just to emphasise it. Likewise, with the capital grants, if a constituent in a large urban area of Dublin builds his or her own home, there is a cost to connect to the water mains. Currently he or she has to pay the local authority and Irish Water and those costs are now increasing. In South Dublin County Council, people have to pay i€3,000, €4,000 and, sometimes,...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Scottish Water, Welsh Water and the Commission for Energy Regulation (8 Feb 2017)
Eoin Ó Broin: I have a specific question for Mr. Millican first and then some questions for both witnesses. Scotland is unique in a European context in that it does not have domestic metered household charges based on consumption. To further tease out Deputy Brophy's questions, I am interested to know how much of the local authority charge goes to the water component. Is it a percentage depending on...

- Questions on Promised Legislation (9 Feb 2017)
Eoin Ó Broin: In 2014, the Constitutional Convention recommended by a margin of 80% that the Government should enshrine the right to housing in the Constitution. A commitment in this regard was included in last year's programme for Government. I am sure the Tánaiste is aware that the Dáil Committee on Housing and Homelessness has also made a recommendation on this issue. Will the Government...

Eoin Ó Broin: 92. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the current policy for gardaí when called to domestic incidents by a family member whereby the incident involves a child or young adult with mental health and behavioural issues such as adult ADHD and high anxiety; and the specific training gardaí receive for dealing with such incidents.
