The water body is to become a standalone utility by the year 2023.
If you’re entitled to a refund and haven’t yet received one, Irish Water want you to get in touch to check your details.
The water utility plans to send out over 100,000 emails and 30,000 texts to customers to ensure that the process is as efficient as possible.
200,000 people in the Meath and Louth areas were left without water as a result of a burst main near Drogheda in late July.
The water being produced by the fixed main may be discoloured but is still drinkable.
It may take several days for full water service to be restored to everyone.
The impasse between the country’s two biggest parties shows no signs of abating.
Michael McNicholas will leave his job next May.
Heavy rainfall caused an overflow of untreated water.
The utility claims in records released under freedom of information that ‘extra staff training’ was instigated at no cost following the data breaches in March 2015.
Off the hook doesn’t quite cover it.
Michael McNicholas also said “more could have been done to make the case for payment.”
New figures emerged tonight.
A spokesperson for SIPTU confirmed on RTÉ today that the workers would be going to the Labour Relations Commission over unpaid bonuses.
The utility’s new board structure has caused some confusion this evening.
A whistleblower has reportedly come forward with the information.
The Department of Public Expenditure denied there was a loophole in the new guidelines.
Ervia chief Michael McNicholas was speaking after it emerged that the cost of water meters had been underestimated by €107 million.
RTÉ’s This Week programme says the guide price provided to Government was way off.
Ervia has said that the pay model does not allow for increases simply because the market has increased.
Alan Kelly said the new board will address the bonus culture at Irish water as a matter of priority.
Minister Alan Kelly has said he expects “a reinvigoration in customer focus”.
It has also emerged that senior coalition figures have discussed the replacement of the Irish Water CEO.
Sean Fleming says the Taoiseach has “serious questions” to answer.
However, customers will still deal with either Irish Water or Gas Networks Ireland.
