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. Rent payments made by Irish Water are a matter for the utility and I have no function in the matter.
Irish Water Financial Statements have a breakdown of operational costs including an amount for the cost of rent, rates, utilities and insurance. The Financial Statements are laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas. In order to get a further breakdown of operational costs the Deputy may wish to contact the dedicated team established by Irish Water to deal with representations and queries from public representatives. The team can be contacted via email at oireachtasmembers@water.ie or by telephone on a dedicated number, 1890 578 578.
