This Bill currently provides that Irish Water will be obligated to have regard to Government policy and guidelines when determining the remuneration or allowances for expenses to be paid for members of its staff. It will also be bound by Government guidance and codes of practice. That will cover the issues in regard to semi-State companies. Accordingly, the amendments proposed are unnecessary.
