Water infrastructure response

Summary

Senator Paul Coghlan says Dublin’s water shortage is temporary and under control, praising Minister Phil Hogan’s response and defending the management of departmental capital funds.

I am going to finish on this. One of the speakers on the other side of the House mentioned the water problem. It is a temporary little arrangement, as they might say.

It will be solved by tomorrow or Thursday. The Minister, Deputy Phil Hogan, has been totally on top of the situation.

It is one thing to pay for water; it is another to pay for no water.

The Minister was down there yesterday. He has met all of the officials. Everything is totally under control. The Minister needs to be complimented. I would like to say another word about him.
