Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick City, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I have made the main points I wanted to make. I also agree that until Friday is a very short period in which we can propose amendments. Our objections to the Bill are different from those of other Deputies. In some areas they are the same, as Deputy Ó Broin has outlined. Obviously, we have a different position on charging for excess water and we are quite upfront about that but, overall, this really is a fudge and an attempt to get off a political hook and it is not satisfactory legislation.
