Paudie Coffey (Waterford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputies for their various views and contributions. I disagree with a number of them. I am surprised that, with the exception of Deputy Ó Cuív, who like me has concern for rural Ireland, no Deputy expressed concern for more than 550,000 rural dwellers who already pay for water through their group water schemes, private wells or septic tanks in which they have had to invest over many years.
