The Tánaiste did not address the point about the overpayments. It was presumably just an oversight, and I ask that she would come back to me on that issue and the report I cited.

To pick up on the previous discussion with Senator Mooney on this section, Irish Water is still referenced in the Bill and it is linked to the water conservation grant on which the Tánaiste spoke. I questioned the Minister of State on this and he was not able to respond or, if he did, it did not make any sense to me. How in God's name is this a water conservation grant? How is this about conservation at all? Perhaps the Tánaiste can explain to the citizens and the people why this €100 grant, as she is calling it, has anything to do with conservation. Can she explain to me how a single drop of water will be conserved by this grant being put in place?
