Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

In reply to an earlier question from Deputy Murphy, I expect that Irish Water will pass the market corporation test. It is a matter for an independent analysis by EUROSTAT. The Bill will be published very shortly after Easter. In respect of the Deputy's last comment, this is a Government comprised of Fine Gael and the Labour Party which was given a mandate by the people to deal with the most difficult economic situation our country has ever had. For that reason the Government has faced many difficult choices and has made decisions. As the Deputy will understand, commentators are entitled to commentate but politics is about people and government is about making decisions. I am not sure that Deputy Murphy has arrived at that point yet. If it ever comes his way, in whatever form, he will find he is living in a very different space than now.
