When I hear Senator David Norris on Ben Bradlee, he is correct on the prurient pap we are getting unfortunately.

I cannot help thinking the Member opposite is overreacting somewhat on the question on Irish Water.

Have a bonus.

I am not actually directing my comments at the Senator but at my good friend, Senator Darragh O’Brien. He likes to jump up and down and put on a bit of a dance on issues he perceives to be populist.

Is it not an issue then?

Of course, it is an issue.

Get to the point then.

The Minister is ensuring a more responsive system is put in place. This very day he is meeting with the chief executive officer of Irish Water.

That is fantastic.

Senators opposite refer to the Seanad but the environment committee, which comprises representatives from this and the other House, is examining the matter. This matter is still in its infancy.

It is on its way out.

As Senator Marie-Louise O’Donnell reminded us today, water is a most important commodity, without which we cannot do, and there is a significant cost to provide it.

I reminded the House of that in a different context.

Water has to be piped and treated.

Does the Senator have a question for the Leader?
