10:30 pm
John Brady (Wicklow, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
The irony is not lost on me that Fianna Fáil members bring themselves in here like knights in shining armour to save the day and bring an end to water charges. The irony is that this is the same political party that signed the deal with the troika that brought about the water charges in the first place. Fianna Fáil is the same political party that presided in government over cuts to local authorities that starved them of essential funding to put in place the infrastructure to deal with the 47% of treated water that is lost in the leaking and antiquated infrastructure across the State. It is ironic to hear Fianna Fáil come in here and lecture us on what it has done while it forgets its past.
