The Commission for Regulation of Utilities was established as a statutorily independent regulator (as the Commission for Electricity Regulation) under the Electricity Regulation Act 1999. This Act sets out that CRU "shall account for the performance of its functions to a Joint Committee of the Oireachtas". Therefore I, as Minister, do not have a statutory function in this matter.

However, I have asked CRU to contact the Deputy directly on this matter.
