Micheál Martin: From October onwards Irish Water will be issuing bills in respect of water charges to families across the country. I could talk about the average bill of €240 promised by the Taoiseach before the local elections, despite the fact that a family with two adult children will now be paying about €590 - a far cry from his €240.

Micheál Martin: -----across the country who are in receipt of boil-water notices and about 21,000 of those live in County Roscommon. There has been very great confusion and anger across the midlands this morning because of statements emanating from Fine Gael about this specific issue giving the impression that there will be a 100% exemption now.

- Leaders' Questions (17 Sep 2014)

- Leaders' Questions (17 Sep 2014)
Micheál Martin: It is beyond any logic. If water going into a household is contaminated and is not fit for human consumption, how can that family be charged for it? The original legislation should have provided for an exemption from any charge for any family with a contaminated water supply. They are paying for bottled water as it is and they have other costs associated with the fact that the water is...

- Order of Business (17 Sep 2014)
