Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Government, through the people's sacrifices, has brought about an income tax reduction for the first time in years. Starting in January 2015, the reduction will far outweigh any water charge during 2015. It will be repeated in 2015 for 2016 and beyond, if the people decide to re-elect the Government. This is where we need to be, investing for the future. I agree that access to water is a human right, but does Deputy Mick Wallace believe it is right that people should have to boil water for ten years and that people all over the country should have to put up with inferior infrastructure when what is flowing through the pipes is unfit for human consumption?
