Ciarán Cannon (Fine Gael)

The Minister is obviously not listening to the people who are advising him. His colleagues in Government seem to believe that report after report can be commissioned without any real activity taking place on foot of their recommendations. It makes sense to set up a national water authority. I ask Senator Ó Brolcháin to consult with his Minister and come back to the Chamber to explain how a policy contained in the Government's green economy document has somehow become a non-policy.
