Water Charges: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (25 Mar 2015)

Liam Twomey: Ireland has the cheapest water prices in Europe, cheaper than Bulgaria, Latvia and Greece. Every country in Europe, rich or poor, right or left, charges for water. Water charges stop waste and protect access to clean water. Sinn Féin must stop misleading the Irish people and stop saying it does not support water charges. Sinn Féin supports water charges in Northern Ireland.

Water Charges: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (25 Mar 2015)

Liam Twomey: It supports the installation of water meters in Northern Ireland and pays bonuses to Northern Ireland water bosses. By saying it does not, it is saying it is part of a pretend Government in Northern Ireland and that, when Mother Goose in Westminster stops laying the golden eggs, Sinn Féin fails to govern properly. It is happy to put the economic future of people in Northern Ireland at...

Water Charges: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (25 Mar 2015)

Liam Twomey: They are installing water meters in Northern Ireland. Sinn Féin supports the legislation in that regard and is supposed to be in government in Northern Ireland. Sinn Féin should stop misleading the people of the country by saying it does differently.

Water Charges: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (25 Mar 2015)

Liam Twomey: We must live within our means and be responsible in what we say to the people of Ireland. We must be responsible in how we act in government.

Water Charges: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (25 Mar 2015)

Liam Twomey: With regard to the nine Deputies who have signed the motion, I do not know what they have to offer to the Irish people apart from demonising the Garda Síochána. This surprises me when it comes from Deputies Finian McGrath and Tom Fleming. Why would they support the claptrap in this motion? I am all for candidates standing in the next general election but we must consider what...

Water Charges: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (25 Mar 2015)

Liam Twomey: The only alternative is cuts to old-age pensions and social welfare payments. How will they fund schools and hospitals? It is not in the motion if that is what Deputy Paul Murphy is pointing at. That is for discussion on another day as soon as the Independent Deputies start talking the truth and stop misleading people.
