I must respond briefly to the comments of Deputy O'Dowd and the Minister, Deputy Eoghan Murphy. Obviously we are very strong critics of Irish Water but we are the best champions of the interests of the ordinary people who work for that company. That is shown by the fact that we raised concerns this morning about pay and pensions and will defend pay and pensions if there is any attempt to downgrade them.
