Water Services Bill 2014: Committee Stage (9 Dec 2014)

Denis Naughten: I wish to speak to amendment No. 5 in my name. In that context, I will take up from where Deputy Catherine Murphy left off. This legislation is flawed and contains a number of major holes. The Government is rushing the process relating to the Bill, which will be put through the House by the end of the week. We are revisiting this matter because 12 months ago Deputies Timmins, McNamara and...

Water Services Bill 2014: Committee Stage (9 Dec 2014)

Denis Naughten: I am of the view that we will also be obliged to revisit it at some point in the future. Section 2 of the Bill comprises almost a full page of text and relates to a plebiscite on the ownership of Irish Water. What is proposed in it is nothing more than a three-card trick. On 19 November last, the Minister, Deputy Kelly, informed the House that "The Government believes that public...

Water Services Bill 2014: Committee Stage (9 Dec 2014)

Denis Naughten: It is not the case that the matter shall be put to the people by plebiscite. Any Government, including that currently in office, with a majority of one in each House will actually be in a position to dispose of the assets of Irish Water without referring the matter to anyone else. There is absolutely no security whatsoever provided within the legislation on this matter. I tabled a very...

Water Services Bill 2014: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Dec 2014)

Denis Naughten: I listened with interest to the Minister’s response on Tuesday night. I was greatly disappointed that the Minister did not address my core point. The Minister announced here on 19 November that the public ownership of Irish Water would be nailed down and that water services could not be privatised without the explicit approval of the Irish people. That is not what is in this...

Water Services Bill 2014: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Dec 2014)

Denis Naughten: The Minister is deceiving the public in what he said because that is not in the legislation. The legislation states that a government, if it is to dispose of and privatise Irish Water at some future date, needs the majority of one in Dáil Éireann, the majority of one in Seanad Éireann and then it may or may not put a plebiscite to the people. I put down a very simple...
