Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As the Senator said, I may have inadvertently miscommunicated it, for want of a better way of putting it in English. There will be a debate here on all of these issues. The first debate is when Irish Water or Uisce Éireann makes its plan. First, it goes to the regulator and will become a public document, so it will be a matter for discussion and debate. The regulator then consults with everybody who will have the opportunity to give their views on various points. I have absolutely no doubt that there will be a debate in both Houses of the Oireachtas on that plan.
