As provided for in the 'Confidence and Supply Arrangement' agreed in the context of supporting a minority government, a Special Oireachtas Committee is currently deliberating on the findings of the Expert Commission on Domestic Public Water Services. This work is due to be completed by mid-March 2017. The Oireachtas will then consider the recommendations of the Special Committee and will vote on the enduring funding model for public domestic water services within a further period of one month. This vote would therefore be expected to be taken by mid-April 2017. Among the key issues the Committee is considering is the Expert Commission's recommendation in relation to a charge for excessive use of water. No information in relation to swimming pools in private residences is available in my Department and I have not requested that such information be collated.
