Water charges debt legislation

Summary

Joan Collins asks when legislation covering unpaid water charges will be introduced and whether separate tenant provisions are needed. The Taoiseach repeats that Irish Water compliance measures will come shortly.

It was indicated today that water charges will be included in the new legislation on the non-payment of general debts. When will this legislation come before the House? Do we need separate legislation to look into the issue of tenants who refuse to pay water charges?
