ESB is an independent commercial State body and the matters referred to by the Deputy arise from ESB operational matters regarding which I have no function.

Responsibility for the regulation of reconnection fees is a matter for the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER), which is an independent statutory body. I have no role or function in this regard.
