I refer to the reply to Questions Nos. 576, 626 and 627 of 16 September 2016 which sets out the position in this matter. The position remains unchanged.

The Expert Commission on Domestic Public Water Services has been established to make recommendations for the sustainable long term-funding model for the delivery of domestic water and waste water services by Irish Water. The Commission is expected to complete its deliberations and report by the end of November 2016. I expect arrangements will be concluded in the interim to ensure that the Oireachtas is in a position to commence its consideration of the report in a timely manner.
