This morning I asked a question about the establishment of a company called Uisce Éireann or Irish Water Limited which was established in October in Wales. I would be grateful if the Minister of State were to advise me whether that company had been set up by Irish Water in Ireland or whether it had been set up by a director or person associated with it. I wish to establish whether there is any relationship with that company.

I will revert to the issue of a referendum and some of the arguments brought forward with respect to the difficulty with it. Senator John Gilroy has just adverted to the pipe structure through private land. I note that Bord Gáis Energy has overcome this problem; therefore, it is not an issue. All such private property issues can be resolved.
