I will respond to points made by Deputies, although some of them have left the Chamber.

On the question on data exchange, there are no legal issues. Landlords have been providing tenant details for Irish Water, in accordance with section 21 of the Water Services (No. 2) Act. The Data Commissioner is fully aware of this and Irish Water has been in ongoing contact with the commissioner about all of its activities to ensure it is in accordance with the Acts.

Deputy Ruth Coppinger put forward a novel proposal, demanding a guarantee that there would be no evictions as a result of non-payment. If she had listened to what her colleague Deputy Paul Murphy had said, she would have received a response because he guaranteed that there would be no evictions.
