- Irish Water: Motion [Private Members] (21 Oct 2014)
Barry Cowen: We were not allowed to contribute to the debate and we were not allowed to show those opposite that some of the measures could not work. They are all culpable and they are all responsible. The Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael Noonan, said last week after the budget that the Opposition is only scratching around for an issue and it has come up with Irish Water. I say to the Minister...
- Irish Water: Motion [Private Members] (21 Oct 2014)
Barry Cowen: There is no doubt that the Minister for Finance did not single-handed return this economy towards the prospect of growth, prosperity or even recovery.

Barry Cowen: Does the delegation think too much is expected of it? Irish Water will impose these charges. The delegation may believe they are excessive and that there will be rebates. That is exactly what I have said all along. There has been a rush to charge people without adequate preparation.
