----- issue of the privatisation versus public ownership of Irish Water, which I think is the nub of the problem. I believe we should pay for water. We should purify it, conserve it and supply it. As Senator Mary Ann O'Brien has said, we have gone a Wizard of Oz way around it. I believe we should pay for it, but this is the nub of the problem - having pride in our water and holding it. However, we cannot dismiss the people's voice from that or their value system from that or what they think about it from that. It is a third lock in this plebiscite.
