Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Let me repeat for the Taoiseach what I asked originally. What the people on the streets at the weekend want to know is whether their Taoiseach is capable of listening, hearing, understanding and respecting their wishes. Today is the day he needs to make that clear. Will he respect the wishes of the people for the abolition of water charges, for the ending of the water metering programme and for the referendum? Will he commit to all of those elements? Will he assure us that he will back off and allow the committee to complete its work and take his foot off the neck of Fianna Fáil?
