Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael)

We have been very clear that we are going to have to spend an awful lot more on Uisce Éireann. I met with the chief executive of Uisce Éireann for a number of hours last Friday. Uisce Éireann has presented to the Government real plans that if we can provide it with significant additional capital funding over the summer period in the context of the review of the national development plan, it will be able to, I am sure the Deputies opposite will be delighted to know, provide enough water infrastructure to enable to delivery of the homes we need.
