Eoghan Murphy (Dublin Bay South, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Representatives of Irish Water spent hours at the Oireachtas joint committee last week speaking about this issue. There will be a meeting at 3 p.m. today and the result of that meeting will mean that there will not be a need to have this item discussed tomorrow on the Order of Business. We should, if we want to make time available in the future, have a proper discussion about water services and water quality, particularly at the Leixlip plant, because there have been two recent boil water notices. I will have no problem in that regard, but I do not think it will be necessary to discuss this item tomorrow, following the meeting at 3 p.m. today, without getting ahead of the process.
