Water Charges: Motion [Private Members] (6 May 2014)

Brian Stanley: In response to Deputy O'Mahony, in 2008 it was a Sinn Féin Minister who abolished water charges in the North. It is a power-sharing Executive in the North and not a Government as we understand it in this State. We are using our contacts in the other parties to try to retain that position. I would urge Deputy O'Mahony - seeing as he is showing concern for the good people of the Six...
