They are very serious allegations. Given that the Tánaiste is familiar with these matters, I request that she ask the Government to give time next week for a debate on the issues in question.

In respect of the Water Services Bill, the Tánaiste and the Minister, Deputy Kelly, told us that they would introduce measures by which unpaid water charges could be taken from people's wages, welfare or pensions. As there does not seem to have been any mention of that legislation since, can the Tánaiste tell us what timetable is envisaged in respect of its introduction?
