Senator Darragh O'Brien has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business calling for legislation to be introduced to provide for a referendum on Irish Water. I do not doubt that water is a resource of the Irish people. I do not think there is any doubt about that. The Taoiseach has stated on the record that the Government has no intention of privatising Irish Water in any way. The Opposition has no such intention either.
