I am calling on Fianna Fáil to put this into practice by supporting the new Irish Water utility, which will need to raise finance to invest in providing good clean water for all our people and for business and to attract inward investment. It is in all our interests for Irish Water to succeed in order that the water needs of the country can be met into the future. Much rubbish has been written in recent days about the lifespan of water meters. I am sure these meters are like many of the meters we have in our homes. I have had an ESB meter in my house for over 30 years and it has not needed to be replaced.
