I propose to take Questions Nos. 237 and 249 together.

I have no function in relation to the Irish Water application process. Under section 6 of the Water Services Act 2007 and section 26 of the Water Services Act 2013 , this is a matter for Irish Water.

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.
