However, Deputy Wallace will be aware that the situation that applied with 34 different entities dealing with planning, design, approval, tender, contract, fit-out and build throughout the country led to a different standard being applied in different places.

I note the agency said that a national standard is fundamental and that the setting up of Irish Water will bring that about.

Irish Water representatives have a very good story to tell that they have not been telling.
