- Water Services Bill 2003 [Seanad]: Report Stage (25 Apr 2007)
Paul Connaughton Snr: I find it difficult to disagree with the sentiments Deputy Gilmore expressed. I have spent a lifetime involved in group water schemes and I am a trustee of one such scheme. As the Minister knows, those small schemes brought water to rural Ireland and there has been little thanks given to those who spent a lot of time on the issue. At least it could be argued that we were legally responsible...

- Water Services Bill 2003 [Seanad]: Report Stage (25 Apr 2007)
Paul Connaughton Snr: I am commenting on the Minister's reply and I assume we are in the same hunt. The Minister said part of the short-term solution to the water problem in Galway involves a proposal to transfer water from the Luimnagh scheme at Corrandulla to Galway. I have no problem with the policy in this regard in the short term but I would like to draw the Minister's attention to the mid-Galway group...

- Water Services Bill 2003 [Seanad]: Report Stage (25 Apr 2007)
Paul Connaughton Snr: I only require one sentence with which to conclude. Let the Minister be put on notice that, regardless of wherever else the water going to Galway goes, it should be made available for the county of Galway in the future.

This is an important issue for people's health, particularly for children and the elderly. Many Members on all sides of the House will want to be involved in this debate. We cannot do it...
