Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy has already informed me of his views in respect of Irish Water. He supports those who pay, those who do not pay and those who cannot pay. I know his view - it is all things to all people at all times.

Yesterday, the Government gave authorisation for the low pay commission, which will examine the question of wage regulation and wage levels. As the Deputy is aware, in the past, we had a very haphazard structure. The low pay commission will bring coherence to the advice that should be given in respect of wage structuring and it was approved by Cabinet yesterday.

We fully support the programme to encourage people to register to vote and to ensure they are registered to vote by 25 November. I met with young Fine Gael members this morning and they are launching a campaign to support this. Everybody should check the register to ensure they are registered to vote, so that when the Bill is published early in the new year and when the date for the referendum is fixed, they will be registered to cast their votes.
