Water services amendment Bill
Deputy Ó Broin asked whether the water services (amendment) Bill would still be published and enacted before the recess. The Tánaiste said the legislation was still being worked on and the Minister would liaise directly with him.
A number of weeks ago, the Taoiseach said that the water services (amendment) Bill 2017 would be published at the start of June. July is almost upon us and that has yet to happen. Will the Tánaiste inform the House if it is still the Government's intention to publish the Bill and have it passed before the recess? If it is delayed, will the Tánaiste explain the reasons?
