Sorry, Senator Keane.

They have simply come in here and like nodding dogs have put forward the party line on everything. They have not even acknowledged that after 14 hours of debate in the other House no amendments were accepted.

The plebiscite proposal in section 2 was not what was requested by the Seanad. It is not belt and braces on the ownership of Irish Water. If anyone believes it is, it is not. I agree with Senator Cullinane and others that any future Government can amend that section.
