Written answers

As Minister I have no function in relation to Uisce Éireann. Uisce Éireann is under the remit of my colleague the Minister for Housing Local Government and Heritage. However since 1 January 2014, Uisce Éireann has statutory responsibility for all aspects of water services planning, delivery and operation at national, regional and local levels under section 7 of the Water Services (No. 2) Act 2013 and neither I nor the Minister of Housing Local Government and Heritage has any function. If Deputies have any queries on specific issues in relation to water services, Uisce Éireann has established a dedicated team to deal with representations and queries from public representatives. The team can be contacted via email to oireachtasmembers@water.ie or by telephone on a dedicated number, 0818 578 578.
