The Water Advisory Body (WAB) was established in 2018, as an independent State Body with two main roles. The first role was to report on how well Uisce Éireann (Irish Water) was performing and the second role was to help increase public confidence in Uisce Éireann. In fulfilling these functions, the WAB published four Annual Reports, 12 Quarterly Reports and other publications between 2019 and 2023, met with relevant stakeholders and provided Advice to the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage in 2020 and 2022.
New accountability arrangements for Uisce Éireann were set out in the Water Services (Amendment) Act 2022 (No. 39 of 2022), which was signed into law on 7 December 2022. As a result, the WAB ceased to have advisory and reporting functions and the dissolution of the WAB took effect from 28 April 2023.
