Question 147: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the constraints that have been put in place to ensure that the water metering, for which the public is being asked to foot the bill, will be the most up-to-date available and on-street with the least intrusion on private property and will not repeat the Departmental error in relation to the purchasing of e-voting machines, which were obsolete before they were installed and cost the taxpayer in excess of €55 million; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
