I have a simple question. Why is the Minister retaining the references to Irish Water in the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005, which is referred to in the Social Welfare and Pensions (No. 2) Bill under the definitions in section 1, which specifies that the “Principal Act” means the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005? Why is the Minister leaving that in if it will have no relevance whatsoever? I do not understand the sense of leaving in references to Irish Water and the PPS numbers, a matter that the Minister and I discussed in the House at the time. As it is irrelevant, why is it not being taken out?
