I have heard two different answers to this question. The Taoiseach indicated in the Dáil last year, if I heard him correctly, that water would be turned off. Will water be turned off completely if a household cannot pay, rather than refuses to pay, regardless of the circumstances of that household? Will it have no supply? That is a key issue that is not just environmental. It is a health issue for the household and family.
