When we were on the verge of the water charges bills being sent out a number of weeks ago, the media was full of stories with dramatic headlines giving the impression that water charges would be taken directly from people's wages and social welfare benefits. Over 200,000 bills should have been paid by this stage. Irish Water refuses to give the figures.

Where are we going?

I am asking about legislation. Irish Water is refusing to give the figures. Again, the same stories are emerging from the Government. Is the legislation that is being talked about the long-promised water services Bill or is it another piece of legislation? Can the Taoiseach confirm that contrary to the threats, this is not a revenue tax but rather a utilities bill and any attachment orders will relate to something after a court case? Therefore, we are talking about hundreds of thousands of court cases after the general election.

That is not on the Order of Business.

We are reforming a Victorian-era piece of legislation where people were sent to jail for very small amounts. The details of that will be announced by the Government very shortly.

I also wanted to ask about the forthcoming legislation. When will the Government bring forward the water services Bill to address outstanding issues reflected in the Government's water package in November 2014? It has been six months since that motion was put before us. Deputy after Deputy has asked the Taoiseach about the landlord issue. The Government is obviously having problems with that because it has not been able to come up with something for six months. Today, the newspapers are full of threats against pensioners, lone parents, workers and the unemployed. The threats are that through legislation - it is a lie - the Government will be able to deduct money from their wages and welfare payments and that anything it does will involve-----

We cannot have a debate on the Order of Business.

Can the Taoiseach clarify that any law the Government brings in will involve an individual going in front of a judge and an attachment order being put against them and that the idea of half a million or a million people being brought before a judge and having such orders placed against them is absolute lunacy?

Will the Deputy please adhere to the Chair? We have already dealt with the Bill in question.

Why did the Taoiseach not bring in the same law against the bankers and developers who brought this country to ruin?

Will the Deputy please resume her seat?

Can I have an answer?

The Deputy got the answer the last time. The water services Bill-----

It is about the water services Bill. It is on the list of legislation.

It has already been answered.

There is a difference between those who cannot pay and those who will not pay.

We are not going into that - just the Bill.

It is unfair that those who do pay should be isolated. The Minister will shortly bring forward the compliance measures for dealing with Irish Water.

Will the Taoiseach clarify-----
