As the Taoiseach knows, this is a Trojan horse for privatisation. There will not be one deor uisce, not one tear of water, going into anyone's water taps from the €86 million that is being given to these consultants, and the Taoiseach knows that. It is coming at a time when the Taoiseach is taking money from citizens and from front-line services. For example, the Government gives €86 million to consultants while it slashes €3 million from housing adaptation grant schemes for the elderly and disabled citizens. That is why citizens are angry. They see the difference. They see the Government paying into the golden circle while denying taxpayers' money for public and, in particular, front-line services.
