Perhaps one might have to buy a plastic bottle full of water but that is fair enough. I talked about simple measures but the Senator has chosen to make a mountain out of a molehill. Senator Ó Clochartaigh is right, if we had the best of all worlds we would have the grant system. To put it simply, we do not have the money to do so. I can assure the House that everyone that I have spoken to has confirmed that they will reduce their water usage by a significant amount by using easy, simple and inexpensive activities like the ones I mentioned.
