Paul Murphy (Dublin South West, Socialist Party) | Oireachtas source

Does the Taoiseach not know what the rate of payments is? Has Irish Water not informed him? Will he find that information and give it to the House?

Will the Taoiseach confirm that the legislation will require court cases? Will he allay the scaremongering in which he has been deliberately engaged, suggesting that Irish Water will be able to take them?

We have had court cases before about disconnections. The Taoiseach was a Deputy then, supporting the Government parties when people were dragged to court. This was met with protests and the then Government could not break non-payment. The same will happen here. People will have enough reasons after seven years of non-payment.
