I was going to ask about the planning legislation also. Has the noise nuisance Bill completely gone off the clár? There are a couple of issues in the Minister's and my constituency and this could be important legislation in respect of them.

I refer to an earlier discussion and the proposal by the Minister for Health, Deputy Varadkar, to give families €5 or €10 per week back in the budget in a few weeks time. Has any consideration been given simply to scrapping the water tax at least until the general election? Perhaps the general election could be used as a referendum to decide whether we should go ahead with this morass that is Irish Water and this terrible imposition.
