Fianna Fáil set us well up over the past 14 years. Water metering should have been attended to before now. I welcome it and look forward to hearing more positive comments on it.

This week is cloud computing week and each day there will be a focus on particular aspects of cloud computing, such as how it can make the public sector more efficient and how the non-profit sector uses cloud computing.

Children in schools are getting involved and students from across the country will showcase their cloud based solutions to worldwide problems at the Irish Imagine Cup finals. A submission which I made to the Oireachtas Joint Administration Committee and the head of the ICT in regard to the movement of some Oireachtas and council IT services to a cloud computing base is currently being considered. This could potentially save us millions of euro per annum.
