The Deputy cannot speak on amendment No. 6 but she can speak on the section. For the purposes of the record, amendment No. 6 proposes to delete section 17 and replace it with a new section which provides for the establishment of daily allowances of water for consumption by a household. While the Bill provides for the establishment of a national domestic water metering programme, the details of the limits and allowances are not provided for in the current Bill. This amendment must be ruled out of order as it is not relevant to the provisions of the current Bill in accordance with Standing Order 131. Deputy Murphy cannot speak on the amendment but she can speak on the section.
