Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

All that people have to do is register with Irish Water and they qualify for the €100 contribution in respect of that. The Deputy said there was a massive rejection. When I was in Swords the other day, I counted 17 people protesting. They are entitled to protest but they should bear in mind the company I was visiting had been in Ireland for 50 years.

It intends to invest €900 million later this year in a major expansion programme which will involve 1,000 construction workers for the period of construction and up to 500 global calibre chemists and researchers subsequently. I was in Dundalk after that where there were approximately 24 people protesting. They are welcome to protest, of course.
