Catherine Murphy
Question:264. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if, considering the large volumes of water that are typically used during construction and which are sourced on-site, he will indicate the likeliest scenario where construction work is required on a home following an accident such as a fire or a flood and the insurance company involved must now pay for the water used; if Irish Water has consulted with insurance industry representatives on this issue; if Irish Water has forewarned customers that there is a possibility that home insurance premia will rise as a result of the introduction of water charges; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
