Water charges and water polo banter
Members interject briefly on taxation and sports while the Leader continues defending the need to pay for water infrastructure and criticising opposition attitudes.
Some, not all. I am glad to see responsibility is on this side of the House where we were responsible, including Senator Humphreys's party, about Irish Water. We should reflect upon that when we come to the autumn. We will have a water shortage and we will see the consequences of the drought we have now. The consequences are a failure to invest over decades. Someone has to pay. The Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin mantra is that if we have it we spend it.

People are paying enough taxes for their water. That is unacceptable from the Leader. People pay through their taxes for water.

How would one play football with water?

Very simple, it is called water polo, or one could do beach volleyball if one wanted as well.

That is with a ball rather than with water.
