1742. Deputy Malcolm Byrne asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to provide the total number of employees at Uisce Éireann, by each year-end since its establishment, in the years 2013 to 2025 inclusive. [59820/26]

1744. Deputy Malcolm Byrne asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the total number of employees at Uisce Éireann. [59821/26]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 1742 and 1744 together.

Uisce Éireann has statutory responsibility for all aspects of water services planning, delivery and operation, including the employment of staff, at national, regional and local level. Staffing within Uisce Éireann is a matter for the company and I have no function in the matter.

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.
