The Water Services Act 2013 provides for the establishment of Irish Water as a subsidiary of Bord Gáis Éireann (changed to Ervia in accordance with SI 287 of 2014), conforming to the conditions contained in the Act and registered under the Companies Acts. Section 5 of the Act provides that the subsidiary shall be known, in the Irish language as Uisce Éireann, and in the English language, Irish Water. I have not received any proposals for the rebranding of Irish Water.
