413. Deputy Paul J. Connaughton asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the person to whom queries should be addressed in relation to information on individuals passed to Irish Water about their addresses, in view of the fact that they have been informed by the Data Protection Commissioner that the matter is one for the energy regulator and vice versa; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
