Since 1 January 2014, Irish Water has statutory responsibility for all aspects of water services planning, delivery and operation at national, regional and local levels. The issue raised in the question is an operational matter for Irish Water and one in which I have no function. I understand that Veolia are providing meter reading services to Irish Water as a result of a public tender and are operating in the Southern area and the vehicles used are co-branded.

Irish Water has established a dedicated team to deal with representations and queries from public representatives and has contacted all Oireachtas members to provide details of an improved level of service which it is aiming to provide.

The team can be contacted via email to or by telephone on a new dedicated number, 1890 578 578.
