Two years ago, the Government promised to use €6.3 billion of the National Pensions Reserve Fund to stimulate the economy. The legislation to provide for this has still not been presented to the House. When will the relevant Bill be introduced and enacted?

When will the Water Services (No. 2) Bill 2013 be enacted? I commend the Government on its job creation strategy, particularly in my home county of Donegal, where a JobBridge position paying €150 is being offered to candidates who will install the water meters to be rolled out as a result of the Bill. It is a disgrace that the Department is signing off on places on the JobBridge scheme which will pay €150 per week for nine months' worth of work going around the roads of County Donegal installing water meters.
