Water Services (Amendment) Bill 2016: Order for Fifth Stage
6:20 pm
Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick City, Labour) | Oireachtas source
I am not going to oppose the Bill. I recognise the decision of the vast majority of Members in the Dáil, but there are still questions around what is likely to happen with possible infringement charges against Ireland, particularly in the context of the possible extension of time beyond the nine months in the Bill. We have not got answers. I ask the Minister to keep the Dáil informed of any information in that regard. It could well be a major cost on the public purse. As public representatives elected to the Dáil, we need to have that information on the deliberations of the commission and the Oireachtas committee being set up under the legislation. The timeframe should be kept under review in that regard.
