I will be brief. I ask the Minister for State to have discussions with Irish Water to prioritise a water supply for the Leinster area by 2020. The last crowd failed to plan for the future. The Government is prepared to look outside election cycles and not to be concerned with whether it is re-elected. We are concerned about putting in place a good infrastructure that will serve the people well. We will not have boil notices or water crises and we certainly will not walk out of the House and fail to debate. What I witnessed earlier was a disgrace in a democracy.
