This is what was signed up to by the previous Government in case they forget:
The Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) will carry out consultations to determine the framework for household water charges with a view to start charging by the end of the EU-IMF programme period. The CER will also conduct consultations in due course to determine the pricing methodology for the non-domestic sector.
The Government will publish the General Scheme of a Water Services Bill with the aim of defining the regulatory framework for the water sector under a national public utility, setting and providing for the establishment of Irish Water in its final form.
That is a fact and it is on the record. That is the agreement made by the previous Government. The agreed figure was €400 per household.
