Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Water Charges Exemptions (14 Oct 2014)

Mary Moran: I thank the Minister of State for his response. I would appreciate if he would bring it back because I know the house and the person involved and can assure him it is a most genuine case. I take his point that there might be few cases where this occurs but it does happen and I have no doubt this is not the only case. If this woman was at home with her allowances she would be charged less...
