The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government will be here today. That is what we want in order that we can have a meaningful debate. The motion is now on the floor for the first hour and the motion will be voted on or agreed in the first hour of that debate. That is better than having statements. It is realistic and a message from the Seanad will go out about Irish Water and our resource staying as a public resource owned by the people.
