Joe Higgins (Dublin West, Socialist Party)

When will Report Stage of the Water Services (Amendment) Bill come before the Dáil? Why was it withdrawn this week? Does it indicate that the Government is rethinking the injustice of putting a new stealth tax on people in rural Ireland who were not able to be part of urban drainage schemes which were set up with public funds? It is placing an extra burden on people.
