Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I do not have an actual timeline for this legislation. The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government is pursuing the establishment of Irish Water as part of his responsibilities in the programme for Government. I cannot give an accurate date on when it will be published but it is a priority matter receiving the Minister's considerable attention. I will request he send the Deputy a more up-to-date timescale for what he envisages for the legislation.
