- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Standards of Service in Water Supply: Irish Water and CER (11 Feb 2014)
Luke Flanagan: The question is as follows. What will change under Irish Water? The witness has stated-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Standards of Service in Water Supply: Irish Water and CER (11 Feb 2014)
Luke Flanagan: ----- that the local authorities will continue to operate the Castlerea scheme. What will change? With respect, the kids in my neighbourhood are puking their guts up because of what they have to deal with. It would not be possible for it to affect Mr. Grant as much as it does us.

Luke Flanagan: What about the reporting of pollution?

Luke Flanagan: Will Irish Water have people on the ground? In many cases, the same area office which is accused investigates the mistake it has made. Does Mr. Grant know that this is the case because it is my experience? It is untenable. Whatever about the question of whether we agree with Irish Water, this is a problem. It has to be a problem.

Luke Flanagan: I wish to ask a question before they go. There has been much discussion on the logo. Perhaps the witnesses can clear up the matter. Was the €20,000 spent on the design alone or on a suite of elements? To whom is Irish Water trying to sell the water? There is no competitor. What is this branding about?
