- Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014: Report Stage (1 Jul 2015)
Brian Stanley: I have been talking to rural dwellers, including people who supported the Minister of State's party in the past and they now have a water meter outside their door courtesy of Irish Water when the rural group water scheme was taken over and a one inch pipe was connected to it.
