Mattie McGrath (Tipperary South, Independent)

The Taoiseach asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to reply to me ten days ago about the water services Bill and he did so. We have been promised everything, but we still do not have the standards that should apply. I hope the Taoiseach will not say this is extending beyond Kilgarvan, as this is a problem being experienced all over the country. We need to have the matter clarified because the Minister came before the committee last week and did not provide us with the details.
