I wish to raise two issues. The first is the leaks caused by Uisce Éireann when putting in water meters in Dublin city. I understand Dublin City Council has had to fork out €136,000 to repair leaks caused by Uisce Éireann. What is the policy or legislation that specifies that a city council would have to foot the bill for the bad work of a semi-state body?

The second question relates to the consumer protection and competition Bill. It was on the A list in the autumn of 2012. It was on the A list in the spring of 2013. It was on the A list in the summer of 2013. It was on the A list in the autumn of 2013. Now that the Government has amalgamated the spring and the summer, it is on the A list for the spring and summer session of 2014, which means the Government will be covered if it does not publish the Bill until the House returns in September.

The important element of the Bill is to introduce a statutory code of conduct for the grocery trade. Are powerful sectoral interests getting to the Government on this vital and important piece of legislation? Could the Tánaiste indicate when it is intended to publish the Bill and if it will happen this side of Easter?

Powerful sectoral interests do not get to this Government.

Tánaiste.

The Government was going to burn the bondholders.

The Tánaiste should take a minute for himself.

The Tánaiste is sitting beside them.

The Government was going to burn the bondholders.

That was the previous Government.

The Government will get burned.

That is why the media mergers Bill and the legal services Bill are being rushed through the system. Well done.

Settle down.

The consumer protection and competition Bill is at an advanced stage and is planned to be published this session.
