Water services legislation

Summary

Deputy Cowen sought the delayed Water Services (No. 3) Bill, while the Taoiseach said a clear and strong compliance regime was being prepared without giving a date.

When will we see the promised legislation in the form of the water services (No. 3) Bill to give effect to the legislation to allow the courts go after those who have refused to pay the bill? We are waiting long enough and I am sure EUROSTAT is anxious to get this information in order to adjudicate on the certainty of income that may be derived by this company. In the absence of that the Taoiseach might find himself in hot water, to say the least.

The Minister, Deputy Kelly, is working on a number of related areas in order to have a compliance regime which is clear and strong and which applies to everyone. I have referred to this before. I do not wish to give the Deputy an exact date except to say that the Minister is working hard to have that clear and strong regime implemented as soon as possible.
