Between 2007 and 2011, Sinn Féin delivered in the Department for Regional Development. It provided a higher quality of drinking water than ever before, reversed any proposed introduction of a domestic household water charge and ruled out privatisation of these services now or in the future. Sinn Féin secured central government funding to not only maintain the levels of service but to increase them. It invested over £1 billion pounds in improving water and sewerage services infrastructure and provision such as delivering real improvements in the Belfast sewerage project and the water mains rehabilitation programme. Déanaimid beart de réir ár mbriathar, agus sin a dhéanfadh muid anseo.

Sinn Féin has great concerns as to what the Minister is considering. I urge him to reconsider his position and to re-engage with all the stakeholders to see how best we can improve the delivery of services to customers. Arís, gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit. Cé go bhfuilimid mór le chéile, ó thaobh cúrsaí teanga agus mar sin de, nílimid ag aontú ar na pointí seo agus beimid ag cur go láidir i gcoinne na moltaí atá sé ag cur chun cinn.
