I seek answers to the two questions I put to the Minister of State. What will be the fairness test applied by the energy regulator when the water charges plan is presented by Irish Water?

Can a choice be given to homeowners between a flat charge or a metered charge? I feel that a flat charge will provide certainty and then they will know whether they genuinely can pay. An open-ended meter charge could put many families in jeopardy.
