Leaders' Questions (18 Nov 2014)

Mick Wallace: The Taoiseach said at the weekend that the protests were about more than water. I believe he is right.

Water Sector Reforms: Motion (Resumed) (19 Nov 2014)

Mick Wallace: A few minutes ago, the Tánaiste said that big new projects would always experience problems. This is true, but Irish Water is probably one of the big projects that should not have started.
