Water charges debate date
Deputy Higgins presses for a precise date for debate on the water-charging regime. The Taoiseach says it will take place by Wednesday of the following week, despite the Chair’s warnings against debating the issue at that time.
With regard to promised Dáil business and sittings, will the Taoiseach tell me precisely when will we have the promised debate on the water charging regime he intends to continue to enforce on our people? I ask him to please not tell me it is when the Government has finished its deliberations.

That is a start. I ask the Taoiseach to elaborate. We are six weeks into a charging regime and vulnerable and scared people-----

-----do not even know what the Taoiseach will be looking for. I ask him to say which day next week we will have a decision and a debate.
