Surely the Tánaiste must agree that it is a crazy situation. We cannot have a situation like that in Wexford, where people are being driven to hardship while the State is not dealing directly with the challenges that are offered because of EU rules. Can the Tánaiste please find out if this is a PPP arrangement or a version of one? I do not expect her to have that answer now. Can she tell me whether she agrees that we should be challenging the EU rule that stops us from borrowing money at less than 2% to invest in public services and infrastructure and that instead drives us into the hands of the private sector in the form of PPPs?
