The Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) is funded through a levy on the energy sector and does not receive Exchequer funding. The CER reports annually on staff and costs in its annual report, which is laid before the Oireachtas each year. CER will provide the specific data for 2005 to date as requested, to the Deputy directly.
