Irish Water legislation and services

Summary

Mattie McGrath raises an Irish Water memorandum with local authorities and complaints that services are inadequate in Tipperary, but the Ceann Comhairle rules that the relevant legislation has already passed and orders him to stop pursuing the matter.

We are given to understand that Irish Water has signed a memorandum of understanding with local authorities.

The same thing applies to Deputy McGrath as to Deputy Healy-Rae. I am not putting up with this every day. Which Bill is the Deputy referring to?

Comment on this

I am referring to the legislation relating to Irish Water.

Seán Barrett An Ceann Comhairle Fine Gael

That legislation went through months ago.

Comment on this

It did, but Irish Water is not servicing the public's needs in Tipperary.

I ask the Deputy to sit down and refrain from abusing the rules of the House.

Comment on this

I have another question.

I will not call the Deputy in future if he carries on the same. He is at it every single day the Dáil sits. He either adheres to the rules or he does not.

Comment on this

I do adhere to the rules.

The Deputy does not. What legislation does he wish to ask about?
