Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

For years, taxpayers have been paying for inadequate facilities with 50% of water supplies leaking into the ground. However, Sinn Féin does not want to recognise that either. The extent of investment for years to come will be of a nature that will fix these leaks and inadequate facilities while providing proper water services for town, country, business, industry and consumer. Again, I thank those 675,000 householders who have contributed.
