- Leaders' Questions (25 Mar 2015)
Enda Kenny: It is more tax and spend from Deputy Martin. He is back to where he left off. He has not stood up from that seat once in the last two years to make a constructive suggest for the development of the country, other than to restore or provide money.

- Leaders' Questions (25 Mar 2015)
Enda Kenny: In Gerry land, the record shows that Deputy Adams agreed that he should pay for water until he heard the sound of marching feet and thought this was populism which required him to take a different stance.
- Leaders' Questions (25 Mar 2015)
Enda Kenny: I am sure he read the reports of water being contaminated with leachate because of diesel laundering in various parts of the country. I am sure that is of interest to him.

Enda Kenny: Every Deputy should observe what happens in a water treatment plant to understand the cost of producing quality water for consumers, businesses and people alike.

We have to deal with that reality and I support the Minister, Deputy Kelly, in his efforts to provide a proper system of clean, high quality water for consumers, businesses and people all over the country....
