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

The danger with off-balance sheet accounting is that the Government spent €650 million without any discussion here or with the general public. There has been a complete lack of transparency. Will the Taoiseach facilitate a two or three hour debate in the House in order that the Minister, Deputy Alan Kelly, can answer questions? He should outline his ideas concerning Irish Water and the Government's future plans. There has been a complete absence of any debate from the get-go.
