Monday 13 January 2014 12.20 Minister for Transport Leo Varadkar has said he would like to see a breakdown of the start-up costs associated with Irish Water.
He said he believed it was unlikely that the reported €50m outlay was spent solely on consultants.
Speaking at the launch of a new coastguard helicopter in Weston Airport, Mr Varadkar said there were always going to be start-up costs for any organisation.
He said various functions such as IT would be an area companies such as Irish Water would spend money on, along with other costs.
RTÉ's This Week yesterday reported on a confidential report which showed that the Government expected Irish Water would be established using Bord Gáis' "existing operational capacity" in the specific areas of IT, asset management, customer billing systems, and other key functions.
The unpublished 20-page report, which was drawn up in September 2012, sets out how Irish Water would be implemented over the following five years as a subsidiary of the Bord Gáis Group.
However, it makes no reference to any use of external consultants to create or operate key IT or other systems.
It went on to declare the current Government's "determination" that the use of such existing capacities in the State sector was a central element of any new functions being taken on by public bodies.
Irish Water boss John Tierney last week revealed the agency has spent €50m on consultants during the agency's set-up phase.
