I welcome the referendum that was announced today and I also welcome the reversal in the cuts to...

Order of Business (28 Feb 2012)

Mattie McGrath: I rise again in regard to the Water Services (Amendment) Bill 2011. When will we get the conditions from the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government? Three weeks ago he announced that they would be out in ten days. When will we see them and for how long more will this go on? It is farcical at this stage. Hundreds of people will march to the House tomorrow and they...

Mattie McGrath: The Leas-Cheann Comhairle has indicated that I have only two minutes in which to make my contribution. I might not be able to stop once I get going. I compliment the Deputies who brought forward the motion. The Health Service Executive is a total disaster.
