I propose to take Questions Nos. 1559 to 1561, inclusive, together.

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.

I understand that Irish Water publishes quarterly reports relating to the First Fix Free leak repair scheme on its website once the reports have been submitted to and reviewed by the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU). Reports for each quarter to Q2 2017 can be accessed on Irish Water's website at the following weblink - . I understand that Irish Water is currently finalising the report for the third quarter of 2017 for submission to the CRU and has begun compiling its report for the final quarter of 2017.  Both reports will be published on Irish Water's website once the reports have been reviewed by the CRU.

Irish Water has established a dedicated team to deal with representations and queries from public representatives. The team can be contacted via email at oireachtasmembers@water.ieor by telephone on a dedicated number, 1890 578 578.
