-----which has been signed by several other Deputies. He has that choice but he is not taking it because Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are wedded to water charges and I do not trust any of them on this issue.

Fianna Fáil brought in water charges in 2010, set up Irish Water and planned to install water meters and said this was a confidence building structural reform measure. It was the brainchild of Fianna Fáil. The Minister’s party came into office, took the Fianna Fáil policies, made them their own, as did the Labour Party, and we saw the catastrophe that was Irish Water unfold.
