I appreciate that but there could still be issues. With regard to the Connemara people and others who will be subject to the implications of the Bill, we have said from day one that they want to comply with legislation and they want clean water, contrary to what has been said by the Minister on the record. He spoke a complete untruth earlier. I speak for Sinn Féin, which is totally in favour of clean water and a fair system. I would correct the record if the Minister is not clear on it. We had the debates in the Seanad over 18 hours when it was said repeatedly that we are in favour of clean water. I appreciate that the Minister has gone a little way on this measure but it is a shame he did not take on board some of the other very practical and constructive arguments put forward in the debate.
