Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Yesterday the Taoiseach was asked questions in the House about the new water tax and standing charge and he gave very little information to the Members of the House. He referred to a draft memo from Irish Water but played down its implications. He failed to mention anything about a draft memo going to Government this morning for a special meeting on water charges and the water tax issue, the details of which are covered extensively today in The Irish Timesand Irish Independent.
