- Business of Dáil (24 Nov 2016)
Mick Barry: I reinforce the point. Let us be quite clear about what is going on here. This is an attempt on the part of the Government with the support of Fianna Fáil to pull a really sly one on the issue of the establishment of the joint committee on the future funding of domestic water services.
