Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I propose to respond to the issue raised by Deputies Ó Broin and Coppinger on the expert commission. I spoke to the chair of the commission today and yesterday and I am aware of some commentary and criticism made of a media interview he did and his personal views on water. The chair of the commission will make a personal statement on that issue later this afternoon and I would appreciate if members gave him the time and space to do so.
