- Public Accounts Committee: Oversight of Irish Water: Discussion (15 Jan 2014)
John McGuinness: Almost €3. Mr. Tierney also has knowledge of Kilkenny and other local authority areas. What is his view on this?
- Public Accounts Committee: Oversight of Irish Water: Discussion (15 Jan 2014)

John McGuinness: Is that in respect of water in and water out?
- Public Accounts Committee: Oversight of Irish Water: Discussion (15 Jan 2014)
John McGuinness: The water in Kilkenny is very expensive so. My next question is for Mr. McGowan. According to the C&AG's report, the cost from 2009 to date of the 27% to 40% of treated water lost is €5.3 million. If the percentage of water lost is 27% to 40%, the cost of which is €5.3 million, will the regulator prevent Irish Water passing on that charge to the consumer because it is the...

John McGuinness: I am speaking about the situation from one day of operation. The figure in respect of the cost of water lost in 2008 is, according to the C&AG's report, €5.3 million, which represents a loss of 27% to 40%. Will the regulator discard consideration of that in reaching the proposed cost per household or will the person who has given away all of the answers be expected to pay more in...

John McGuinness: As time is pushing on, perhaps Mr. Barry can look for that information and we will revert to him. Does Irish Water have a list of assets equalling €50 million? It was stated that these were assets, not reports stuck on a shelf. How much is paperwork and how much is real assets?
- Public Accounts Committee: Oversight of Irish Water: Discussion (15 Jan 2014)
John McGuinness: No, do not do that. Deputy O'Donnell is very technical and qualified. I am just a layman.
- Public Accounts Committee: Oversight of Irish Water: Discussion (15 Jan 2014)
John McGuinness: I am just trying to understand. If the witnesses are telling me that the €50 million that has been spent constitutes a list of assets, I do not care how they categorise them for the regulator at the moment. I just want the list of assets. If Irish Water has paid for a table, a chair, a computer or a piece of software, it must list the assets.
- Public Accounts Committee: Oversight of Irish Water: Discussion (15 Jan 2014)
John McGuinness: That is grand. For my purpose, do not mind the regulator for now, just tell me what assets Irish Water has. Does it have ten computers and four pieces of software?
- Public Accounts Committee: Oversight of Irish Water: Discussion (15 Jan 2014)
John McGuinness: I want to find out how much of the €50 million is hard assets. I do not want it in accountancy terms. I want it in real, day-to-day language.
