Okay. I withdraw the name. Elected representatives who are chosen to govern should lead by example and not by saying they have been elected to break the law. These people should be courageous. A previous speaker mentioned populism and localism but we should think of our people and what is good for the country. They should tell the truth about what makes water clean and affordable in a fair way. They should not pretend the position is otherwise.

Section 2 allows for a plebiscite, and that means Irish Water will never be privatised. Replacing the word "may" with "shall" ensures it will not be privatised.
