Water services funding
The Leader addresses a water-services intervention and says he is willing to have a debate after the commission reports, while exchanging barbs with Sinn Féin over taxation and policy consistency.
A commission has been established and we should all make a submission to it. I would be happy to have a debate on the issue after the submissions had been made. It is important to allow the commission to do its work and I will not be found wanting in any way in having a debate on the issue. I will be very happy to hear how the Senator's party will propose to impose more taxes on the people, as articulated on radio this morning by Deputy Eoin Ó Broin.

Absolutely. Water services must be funded properly and in a progressive manner.

I will be very happy to have that debate as the Senator's party has flip-flopped on many issues.

We have not. The Leader is wrong.

It has done it again on the issue of water services and I look forward to having that debate.
