Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I am not sure he would have measured up to the teams I trained and played for in times gone by. I never mix sport and politics. I am glad the team was able to win a good sporting game without my presence. If the Deputy wants clarity, the position is that the memorandum of understanding is clear on the introduction of a site value tax and a charge for water arising from water metering. The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government is working on these two issues. When he issues his memorandum on them, the Government will make a decision to bring certainty and clarity to the matter and end the Deputy's anxiety and concerns about it.
