Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications

I have no function in relation to this matter, under section 7 of the Water Services (No. 2) Act 2013. Public water supplies are a matter for Uisce Éireann. 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.
