Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

-----I remind Deputy Martin that his party now favours a continuation of the status quo, that is, 34 local authorities with all the staff contained therein and with higher costs. What Deputy Martin wants to do is leave the situation as is. That means he is happy for 18,000 people to have boil water notices and he is happy to have a million homes where there is a need for serious action in terms of increasing the quality of the water and the integrity of the system. All this means Deputy Martin is happy to leave a sticking plaster job continue in many places throughout the country where we are out of line in terms of standards, capacity, integrity and quality of the water.
