I thank the witnesses for their presentations. The debate on Irish Water was brought into stark focus when I was telling my nine year old son that I would not be at home for his birthday because I had an important meeting in Dublin about water. He said: "Are ye still arguing about that, Dad?" I said: "I am." In a nod to the nausea that many people are experiencing, I will be brief and I will get to the point as quickly as I can.
