Senator Darragh O'Brien first raised the issue of Irish Water, which was discussed this morning when the Cabinet considered an update on issues related to Irish Water. The Government has recognised, as Ministers have been stating for some time, that it must do more to ensure there is full public understanding of the reasons for the establishment of Irish Water and full public trust in all aspects of the implementation of that decision. All of these issues are being carefully considered by the Government, working with Ervia, as Bord Gáis is now known, and Irish Water as a matter of priority. The Fianna Fáil Party signed up to water charges in the memorandum of understanding.
