I move amendment No. 3:

In page 16, between lines 15 and 16, to insert the following:“30. BGÉ shall not dispose of the assets of Irish Water.”.

It is vital that the Minister give a commitment on Irish Water. The establishment of that company and its operations over the coming years are topical issues. Concerns have been expressed that the legislation will offer scope to sell the company. We want to make a clear commitment in the primary legislation that it will not be sold in any way, shape or form. The major infrastructure assets that become part of Irish Water must remain in State ownership.
