Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Government will move on a number of other proposals for the amalgamation of Bord Gáis and Irish Water into Ervia, with appropriate competency to run what is one of the largest entities since the foundation of the State, the fundamentally important issue of water for personal, social and economic reasons and the development of our nation as a place fit to invest in and fit to live in by having quality water at its core.
