Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I did not interrupt the Deputy. I am exceptionally clear on the issue. Uisce Éireann is well aware of my views and those demonstrated by the Deputy. These issues have been discussed with its representatives on a regular basis. There is no belief, either on my behalf or in the Department, that Irish Water will not be accountable. I am satisfied that the body will be accountable and if the Deputy does his job as I do mine, he will have its representatives before the Oireachtas committee when the recess finishes. That is what Deputies should do, and I would be disappointed if they did not do so. The same answer would come from them.
