The Minister should provide clarity on the number of households. Tell us how much it will cost Irish Water and tell us how much it will cost the Department of Social Protection to administer the grant. They are very clear straightforward questions. If the Minister is not in a position to answer them, which seems to be the case, then we have no option but to adjourn this. It is becoming shambolic. We cannot continue like this in the absence of key information which is required. If the Minister cannot provide the information now, let us adjourn, do the sensible thing and come back at a time when he is properly briefed.
