| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Bill recommitted in respect of amendment No. 4. | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [827] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Debate resumed on amendment No. 4:
In page 5, line 8, after “1996;” to insert the following:
“to amend the Water Services Act 2007, the Water Services (No. 2) Act 2013 and the Water Services Act 2014;”.
- (Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government). | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [827] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] It has come to my attention over the past few days that in college accommodation consisting of one kitchen with possibly eight to nine rooms, those in charge of this accommodation have sent letters looking for a down payment of €130 from each student. There is a charge of €260 for a househo... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [828] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I want to speak on amendment No. 21 and the Minister's proposals to force people to register, regardless of whether they are the occupier. Other speakers have outlined the difficulty this creates for tenants who are obliged to register with Irish Water within 20 days of this legislation bei... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [828] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] It shows also that this Government has not got a mandate to continue with the implementation of Irish Water and with the imposition of the second tax on citizens. It has a huge impact on tenants and potential tenants. In cases where householders decide not to register with Irish Water, bei... | Vol-885 Book-3 | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Sometimes I wonder whether we live in the real world at all.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [829] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] You do not.[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [829] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I very much do, Deputy Coppinger. I listened in my office with incredulity to some of the comments. Deputy Ó Cuív started talking about "Lanigan's Ball". Deputy Ó Cuív reminds me of Bobby in "Dallas"; he woke up from a dream after 14 years of government. You sat at the Cabinet table, Dep... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [829] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Not for 14 years. Check your facts.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [829] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] You were part of a government for 14 years and you sat there and you come in here now. It is extraordinary. You come in here every day and I swear to God you would think you never did anything wrong in your life. You have an answer for everything now whereas when you were in government loo... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [829] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Is that why you are doing it?[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [829] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Whether you like it or not.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [829] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] You did not actually succeed.[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [829] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Are you speaking to the amendment?[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [829] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I am. The only panacea Deputy Coppinger has is to boycott, to oppose and not to pay. I can tell her that 70% of people have taken a principled stand-----[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [829] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Is the Acting Chairman sure that the Deputy is speaking to the amendment?[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [829] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Seventy per cent of our people have agreed to pay. The reality-----[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [830] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] They have not.[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [830] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Resume your seat, Deputy.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [830] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Deputy Ó Cuív you come in here every day with this stunt of "The Minister is giving a speech and we will call a quorum". Stop playing politics. Ye talked on the first day of the new Dáil about new politics. The people outside do not care about a quorum or do not care about the fact the Mi... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [830] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] You should care about them-----[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [830] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I do care. Do not tell me I do not care because I do.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [830] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] You have an obligation to care about the rules we have made to run this place.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [830] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I represent the people of my constituency every single day and I will not take a lecture from people inside here on the Opposition benches who profess to have a majority of knowledge or empathy or sincerity about whatever. They do not have it. The rest of us live in the real world too and ... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [830] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Keep going, you are on a roll.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [830] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Yes, I am on a roll, because I live in the real world and you cannot take the facts that your party in government was the party of a few. It might not have been your personal ideology-----[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [830] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] That is not true. I take serious exception to that. The people in my constituency elected me like they elected you in the last election. It was not a few; it was the many. I am delighted that Deputy Brian Walsh is here in the Chamber because he knows as a fact, which you do not seem to k... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [830] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] You can do what you want. It might not be your ideology now.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [830] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Resume your seat, Deputy Ó Cuív.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [830] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The proof of the pudding is that you were partying in the Galway tent and your friends and cronies were partying in the Galway tent as ye bankrupted the country.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [830] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Except for the fact I was born in this city, I have never - I ask the Chair to get him to withdraw that absolutely scandalous and scurrilous remark.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [830] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Deputy Ó Cuív, please. resume your seat.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [830] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I am speaking.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [830] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Ask him to withdraw that absolutely scandalous and scurrilous remark. I ask the Chair to get him to withdraw that scandalous remark.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I have the floor.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] He said that I represented a few. I do not represent a few.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] If you heard what I said Deputy Ó Cuív-----[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] If he repeats it outside I will sue him for every dime in his pocket.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] What I said was-----[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Resume your seat.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I want the Chair to get him to withdraw the remark. He knows it is not true[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The record will show what I said.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] If you could resume your seat I will try to sort it out.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] If Deputy Ó Cuív heard me----[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Deputy Buttimer, please, if you do not mind, allow me to try to chair this. We are speaking on the amendments. There is no point in slagging each other. Let us get on with dealing with the amendments because that is what is important to the people out there. Deputy Ó Cuív has asked you t... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] What I said was and the record will show-----[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I do my best to chair the debate. Everybody is given ample time to say what they want to say. There are no restrictions on how long a Member may speak. Deputy Ó Cuív is the next speaker on the list and I will go back to him but please, could you speak to the amendment, Deputy Buttimer?[By... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I will say again what I said, Deputy Ó Cuív, as you did not hear what I said. I said it may not have been your ideology but Fianna Fáil represented the few.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] You said "you represented the few".[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I did not say "you". I was not referring to you. I was referring to you as in Fianna Fáil, not to you personally.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I am part of Fianna Fáil. Therefore in saying that I - you - included me and I do not. You are saying that I am not part of Fianna Fáil. I ask you to withdraw that as well.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I understand that. I have clarified my remarks.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] If you said "you" and you meant Fianna Fáil, you are saying it included me. If you do not mean me, you have to be consistent in your use of language-----[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [831] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I am. I am being very consistent.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] If the "you" is plural and inclusive it includes me and you said-----[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Deputy Ó Cuív, I think you did say it was not part of your ideology-----[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Sorry, Deputy Walsh.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] He did say that----[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] You did say "you".[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] If you wish to speak, put up your hand.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Do I have the floor?[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Yes, Deputy, you have the floor.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I am not finished.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I did not say you were finished.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I have listened to rhetoric for the past-----[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] What amendment is Deputy Buttimer speaking on?[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] On the Buttimer amendment.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] On the amendment Deputy Coppinger spoke to.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] You have not got a clue what amendment.[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Excuse me, Deputy Coppinger, please, you had your turn. If you want to speak you can come back in when I take your name. There is no problem. We are speaking on amendment No. 21.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The amendment and the Bill before us-----[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] He has not a clue.[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] He does not know which one we are dealing with.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] It is a pity, Deputy Ó Cuív, that you would not have the manners to allow people to speak.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I do not take slander.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] We listened to you for two days and we listened to people opposite for two days. Some of us are entitled to speak in the House. You might not like what we have to say and the record of your party in government for the 14 years. I did not slander you.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] You did.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I did not.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [832] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] You did.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [833] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The record will show I did not. I said it might not be your ideology. Deputy Walsh concurred with me.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [833] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] You said it post facto.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [833] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I did not say it post facto. I am disappointed with Deputy Ó Cuív's attitude.
The infrastructure being put in place by Irish Water is a necessary one. I will quote the example of the case of Cork city where the lives and homes of thousands of people were destroyed in two major floods in ... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [833] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] We are putting in place flood-relief infrastructure. | Vol-885 Book-3 | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] That is not the OPW.[Pringle, Thomas] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [833] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The infrastructure requires investment.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [833] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] That is not Irish Water.[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [833] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] That is not the OPW.[Pringle, Thomas] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [833] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Irish Water is part of that scheme with the OPW to put in place the infrastructure to ensure we will have safe streets if we have a repeat of those two major floods in Cork.
We must ensure that Irish Water as a utility company has the confidence of the people. I listened to Deputy Pringle... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [833] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] They can drink that water now.[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [833] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] They can, but they pay twice for it.[Pringle, Thomas] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [833] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] It is important that the legislation is passed. Some of us might wish we did not have to do this, but the reality is that we have no choice because of the memorandum of understanding with the troika agreed by the party, Fianna Fáil, of which Deputy Ó Cuív is a member.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [833] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] What was?[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [833] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Water charges.[Carey, Joe] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [833] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] It is imperative that we get this legislation through.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [833] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Yet not sewerage charges.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [833] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] We see the benefit for people in group water schemes and people with wells. I come from an area where my father in his family home had to sink his own well and my late uncle had to sink his own well. They paid for the cost of running that well. Deputy Ó Cuív talks about representing peopl... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [833] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] What was the Deputy protesting for?[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [834] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] However, I have not heard the Deputy condemn the incident where a member of An Garda Síochána had to be taken to hospital having been struck by a cone.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [834] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Deputy has not heard me say many things.[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [834] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I have not heard her say that.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [834] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I have not heard the Deputy refer to any of the amendments that we are discussing.[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [834] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I would like her to do that if she could.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [834] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] What amendment is the Deputy speaking about?[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [834] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] As legislators, Members of the House have a responsibility and a duty to uphold the law of the land and the men and women who work as members of An Garda Síochána.[Buttimer, Jerry] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [834] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] That is rich coming from the Deputy.[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [834] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] As someone who spent all my life as a public servant in school teaching, I am very proud to be part of the public service. I hope Deputy Coppinger would condemn the treatment of members of An Garda Síochána outside this House last night because that has no place in a civilised democracy. T... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [834] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] A Chathaoirligh, on a point of order, are Deputies allowed to just come in-----[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [834] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] There is no point of order. Sit down.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [834] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Sorry, it is a point of order.[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [834] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] There is no point of order. Deputy Ó Cuív has the floor.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [834] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Sorry a Chathaoirligh, I would like to raise a point of order.[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [834] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Deputy Ó Cuív has the floor.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Deputies are coming in and speaking on random topics-----[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] There is no point of order.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] ----- that have already been-----[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Sorry-----[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] What about the Deputy last night? She was ranting for hours last night.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] You should be conducting the debate in an impartial manner-----[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I am conducting-----[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] -----which you have not been.[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I have been and you can withdraw that remark.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I would like to make a point of order now.[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I do not take lightly to that remark. I am a very fair Chair whenever I am here. I ask the Deputy to sit down.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] May I speak?[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] No, the Deputy has already spoken. It is Deputy Ó Cuív's-----[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] May I speak on a point of order about the conduct of the debate?[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] No. There is no point of order. Everybody who has spoken-----[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Okay. There is no point of order. That is really impartial.[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] That is not fair.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] That is not fair to the Chair.[Carey, Joe] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Everybody who spoke previously from Deputy Stanley onwards since I came into the Chair, have strayed from the amendments one way or another. I have never intervened. If we want to call each other names, that is fine. I do my best here as Chair. If it does not suit the Deputy, she should ... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Great. That is fantastic.[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] We will get back to the amendments. Amendment No. 21 states:
23A. (1) Where water services are provided to a dwelling by Irish Water, the owner of the dwelling shall, subject to subsections (2) and (3)—
(a) register with Irish Water as a customer and confirm whether or not the dwelling is h... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [835] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Where is the Deputy?[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [836] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Is the Deputy on the pitch?[Carey, Joe] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [836] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Where I am is that I think this should have been handled in a better way. We have an arbitrary cut-off date for the grant. The first thing the Minister could do would be to get his colleague and party leader, the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection, to say that it is not too late t... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [836] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] First, he could get rid of the arbitrary decision made by the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection that if one registers now or in a week's time, one will not receive the grant. That is unnecessary and stupid. Second, he should give a very clear directive that, rather than saying a.... | Vol-885 Book-3 | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Hear, hear.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [837] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Minister is adding to the problem. He knows that this is going to happen and is planning for it to happen. Why does he not do something about it?
I have tabled amendment No. 11 to amendment No. 21. The way the Bill is being produced is unusual. I have never seen it done in this way... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [837] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I acknowledge the very positive and constructive contribution made by my colleague from west Galway, Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív. On the interaction earlier between him and Deputy Jerry Buttimer, I have to say Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív has always acted on behalf of all the interests of his constituency,.... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [838] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] They have gone to a press conference.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [838] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Many fair-minded people have had reasonable concerns about water charges. The amendment about the Bill’s effect on landlord and tenant relations is an example of these concerns. Deputy Brian Stanley mentioned the metering issue. There are provisions in the leases signed by landlords and t... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [838] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] There is a cohort of militant protestors, guided and incited by some of the Members present in the House, who have no regard for rule or for reason and do not represent the majority of people, either for or against the introduction of these charges. We saw it here yesterday at Leinster Hous... | Vol-885 Book-3 | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] It is scandalous.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [838] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] That is outrageous behaviour for Members of the Houses of the Oireachtas to have to endure. This kind of animalistic and anti-democratic behaviour that we have witnessed at the gates of our own national Parliament is similar to events that befell the Taoiseach, the Tánaiste, the President a... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [838] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Was that not Fine Gael?[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [839] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The rhetoric of certain Deputies has poured petrol on the flames of the demonstrations, which has been nothing short of a disgrace. Describing the scenes faced by electoral representatives here yesterday as peaceful protest is like describing a lover's tiff as the Trojan war.[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [839] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Will the Deputy stick to the amendment?[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [839] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] It brings shame on this Parliament and I think Members like Deputy Paul Murphy, who is present, the pied piper of these protests-----[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [839] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Could we speak to the amendment, please?[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [839] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] When is he off to Greece?[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [839] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The fact is, as Deputy Buttimer said, they have refused to condemn these actions of violence in a manner that would seem brass-necked to even the Teflon terrorists in the House.[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [839] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Sorry, Deputy. Could you speak to the amendments, please?[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [839] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I will.[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [839] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] That is unparliamentary language. I think he referred to me as a terrorist.[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [839] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Sorry, I am chairing the sitting and I do not need any more interruptions.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [839] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I think he just referred to terrorists in the House.[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [839] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Meanwhile Sinn Féin, not for the first time-----[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [839] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Will the Deputy please withdraw the statement about terrorists?[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [839] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] -----has demonstrated remarkable hypocrisy throughout the extensive debate on this issue.[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [839] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I was repeatedly referred to as ISIS. The Deputy, I think, is referring to me as a terrorist.[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [839] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I never mentioned that term at all.[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [839] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] He referred to Sinn Féin. I am the only Sinn Féin Deputy in the House at the moment, so he referred to me as a Teflon terrorist.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [839] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I am only beginning my remarks in regard to Sinn Féin. Anything I have said heretofore-----[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [839] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I ask him to withdraw that. I am an elected Member of the House. He cannot refer to me as a Teflon terrorist.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [840] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Will Deputy Stanley sit down?[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [840] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I never made any reference whatsoever to Sinn Féin. Am I to be allowed to continue?[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [840] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I ask Deputy Stanley to sit down and I will deal with the comments.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [840] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I ask him to withdraw the remark.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [840] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I thank Deputy Stanley and Deputy Murphy. I will try my best to chair the sitting. I ask Deputy Walsh to refer to the amendments and not comment on anything beyond that. That would be very helpful. Thank you.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [840] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I believe the debate on this amendment is instilling a huge amount of fear in the minds of vulnerable people. The Members opposite have correctly described many tenants throughout the country as being some of the most vulnerable people in society. However, some of the language and some of ... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [840] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Deputy does not have a clue.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [840] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Deputy Stanley is the one who does not have a clue if he does not agree with that.[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [840] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] If we did less name calling and stuck to the amendments, it would be better.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [840] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] He is giving false information.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [840] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] They already charge for water as part of a domestic rates regime that costs on average €950 per year. It is very clear. They have installed a whole plethora of water meters over the past 12 months in the North of Ireland.[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [840] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] More than 30,000. Why are they doing that?[Coffey, Paudie] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [840] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I will come back to the Deputy on that.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [840] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] That has been extensively reported on. I will tell the House why they are doing that. They are doing it because they will be introducing a direct charge for water in Northern Ireland in the near future. Under that arrangement, the tenants of these properties in the North of Ireland will b... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [840] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Sorry, Deputy. I have asked you to speak to the amendment. You are not speaking to the amendment. I think you need to withdraw that remark. Please just speak to the amendment.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [841] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] He has not withdrawn the previous remark that I am a Teflon terrorist.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [841] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I am chairing the sitting. If Deputy Stanley will sit down-----[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [841] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] He is calling me a Teflon terrorist. I am asking the Chair to ask the Deputy to withdraw that remark. He has made a number of false assertions which I am happy to deal with when I speak again. Beyond Newry, he has not got a clue what he is talking about. He has shown how partitionist and... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [841] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Deputy must be joking. I am in the North more than he is.[Coffey, Paudie] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [841] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] If I go outside the front gate here, if I was allowed out, Deputy Murphy's people would-----[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [841] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I am asking for that remark to be withdrawn.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [841] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Deputy Stanley-----[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [841] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I have not named Deputy Stanley.[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [841] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Can I speak, please? I am not a referee. I did not hear anyone name anyone specifically but I did hear and ask the Deputy to withdraw what he said just now. I think it is wrong. Can we stick to the amendments, please, if the Deputy is going to speak?[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [841] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I withdraw my reference to it but that is the reality of the situation.[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [841] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Thank you.[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [841] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] That is good. Carry on.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [841] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] That has been widely reported and it did not require me to say it. If I was to go outside the front gate of Leinster House, if I was allowed out, if Deputy Murphy's mob was not outside the front gate, obstructing me from exiting-----[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [841] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Is that unparliamentary? I do not have a mob. Will the Deputy withdraw the statement?[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [841] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I drove North-----[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [841] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I do not have a mob. Will the Deputy withdraw the statement?[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [841] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Will Deputy Walsh continue, please?[Byrne, Catherine] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [841] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I drove North and drove a short distance north of the Border.[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [842] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I do not have a mob. Will the Deputy withdraw the statement?[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [842] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I could see what Sinn Féin in government is doing in regard to this specific issue we are discussing today.[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [842] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I do not have a mob. Will the Deputy withdraw the statement?[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [842] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Sinn Féin Members present are speaking out of both sides of their mouths on this issue. They have one rule in the North of Ireland and one rule down South. If their advice had been followed when this Government came to office, they would have transformed the prevailing economic crisis ... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [842] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Has the Deputy even read the amendments?[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [842] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Sinn Féin was among those who celebrated, as did Deputy Murphy, the emergence of Syriza in Greece, a party whose obstructionist and isolationist policies somewhat mirror those of their own here in the Republic. The appalling vista that has since come to pass, where people are going hungry a... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [842] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] They are mopping up after Fine Gael's sister party.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [842] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] It is what Sinn Féin would have wished for us. If their policy of telling the troika to go home and take their money with them had been followed, a similar fate would have been foisted upon us.
What is being proposed in this amendment is reasonable, namely, the user of the water pays for ... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [842] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] That is not in the amendments.[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [842] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I do not share the concerns that Deputy Stanley has expressed in regard to metering. There are already systems in place to deal with that under existing landlord-tenant law and existing leases. I do not believe it is an issue that will cause huge concern for tenants.
I would urge tenants... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [842] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The same will befall those who refuse to pay the water charge. A very reasonable charge has been introduced. For a single person who registers, a fee of €160 applies, minus the €100 water conservation grant, giving a net cost of €60 per year. That equates to one ATM withdrawal in Greece. ... | Vol-885 Book-3 | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Will the Deputy's mob make them pay it?[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [843] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] If they take the Deputy's advice, they will end up paying a lot more. I support the Minister on the amendment.[Walsh, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [843] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I will respond to points made by Deputies, although some of them have left the Chamber.
On the question on data exchange, there are no legal issues. Landlords have been providing tenant details for Irish Water, in accordance with section 21 of the Water Services (No. 2) Act. The Data..... | Vol-885 Book-3 | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] What is the Minister's response?[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [843] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I will give it to the Deputy, if he gives me a chance. It is standard practice in residential leases for tenants to pay their utility bills. They include their water bills. Therefore, there is no basis on which to predict a landlord will seek to evict tenants for not paying their water bi... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [843] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] How?[Ferris, Martin] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [843] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] It is very easy - just go out, pick it up and look, in the same way one reads any other meter.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [843] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] It is not as easy as reading the ESB meter.[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [843] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] It is easy. The Deputy has a laptop with him in the Chamber and there are details on the website on how to read the meter. The Deputy can look it up and let us all know how to do it.
A valid question was raised about some student accommodation owners looking for additional deposits from.... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [843] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] They are doing it in Athlone.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [844] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The legislative provisions in this and previous legislation clarify where liability rests. Student accommodation is generally classified as being part of the non-domestic sector; therefore, charges are made through that process. I expect the model for charges in that sector to be examined ... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [844] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I wish to address a number of issues raised by Deputy Brian Walsh regarding this amendment. He is, obviously, unaware of some matters. On the meters in place in Northern Ireland, he is, obviously, unaware that legislation is required to stop their installation. I believe he is also unawar... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [844] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] In getting ready for the charges.[Coffey, Paudie] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [844] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Ulster Unionist Party has the relevant Ministry.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [844] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Deputy Stanley has admitted it.[Coffey, Paudie] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [844] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Some Government Deputies, in particular from your party, Minister Coffey's, if you could stay quiet for a moment-----[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [844] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Deputy Stanley should speak through the Chair.[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [844] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I am sure you have strong links in that party and perhaps you could convince them to bring forward the legislation. The Unionist Minister showed some interest in the Bill prior to the election and I hope he continues with it because Sinn Féin is anxious to get the legislation through.
A s... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [844] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I am glad to hear it.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [845] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] -----to ensure it works out and will continue. Northern Ireland Water is not a perfect beast by any standards but the Minister should note that it is directly under the control of the Assembly and the Executive. That is a far different arrangement to what was done by the Minister of State,... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [845] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] How much do people pay in rates in the North?[Coffey, Paudie] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [845] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I can tell the Minister of State what they get for it because I have family there.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [845] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Deputy Stanley should put that on the record.[Coffey, Paudie] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [845] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I have family living there.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [845] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] So do I.[Coffey, Paudie] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [845] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I can rattle off all the statistics. Deputy Coffey should not get hot under the collar. He should know the full list of services.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [845] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Rattle it off so.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [845] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I should be allowed to speak without interruption.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [845] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Deputy should be allowed to speak.[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [845] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I need the protection of the Chair.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [845] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Minister of State, Deputy Coffey, should please let the Deputy speak.[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [845] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] There is a lot of heckling coming from the Government benches. Could you ask the Minister of State, Deputy Coffey, to calm down?[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [845] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I have done.[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] If you had stayed for long enough in the afternoon-----[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Deputy Stanley did not answer the question.[Coffey, Paudie] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] -----the false assertions you made-----[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Will Deputy Stanley stop addressing the Minister of State? He is supposed to address the Chair.[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] You would have heard every one of them being roundly and flatly turned on its head.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Deputy Stanley should give us the rates.[Coffey, Paudie] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] In the first few years following the establishment of Northern Ireland Water, the Sinn Féin Minister ensured £1 billion was invested in water services in that small six-county statelet, in addition to domestic charges being shredded and put to one side.
In relation to the boycott, I refer ... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Curly O'Donovan.[Ferris, Martin] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Yes, Deputy Patrick O'Donovan.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] On a point of order-----[Coffey, Paudie] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Deputy Stanley should hold on a moment.[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Any Deputy who is elected has a mandate to represent his or her constituency and has a right to come into the Chamber.[Coffey, Paudie] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Of course.[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Absolutely.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] It is unfair of the Deputy to say that about a colleague, irrespective of what party he or she is from. Given their mandate, when Members comes into the Chamber they are entitled to have their say. I ask Deputy Stanley to withdraw his comment.[Coffey, Paudie] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I ask the Deputy to stick to the matter under discussion at the moment.[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Deputy Stanley should refer to the Deputy by his name.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I fully respect that, but I refer to the manner in which it is being done. Government backbenchers run in, make a pile of false assertions to give you a bit of cover and a little breathing space.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Cover. I do not need any cover.[Coffey, Paudie] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [846] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] He was a centre-back for Waterford.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Then they run out again before a response can be made. They do not even stay around to hear the answer. In relation to the boycott-----[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Excuse me, Deputy Stanley.[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] In relation to the boycott, you will have noticed-----[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Deputy must address the Chair.[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] ----- that our party leaves it up to people to make that adult decision.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Deputy Stanley should speak through the Chair.[Coffey, Paudie] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Thank you, a Chathaoirligh. We leave it up to people to make that adult choice themselves, but Deputy Brian Walsh is evidently not aware of that and unfortunately he is not present to hear my response.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] What is the charge for rates in the North?[Coffey, Paudie] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] That is the correct position. The bottom line is-----[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Have we really got to it?[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] -----that in relation to this specific amendment, No. 21 - I know the Minister, Deputy Kelly, has probably done his best to try to answer the question - it is a fact that the Bill will run into serious difficulty in the area of private rented accommodation, in particular situations where the... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Deputy Stanley should start with the website.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I will go on to the website later. Apart from that, even if one is able to read the meter, Irish Water will not sort out the account in time for a tenant to get his or her deposit back. If one leaves No. 40 Bridge Street this evening and moves to No. 20 Forest Avenue in a matter of an hour... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Deputy Stanley is not to address the Minister.[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I am sorry. The Minister has probably lived in private rented accommodation in another jurisdiction. I do not know. I know he lived abroad.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Does Deputy Stanley consider Cork to be another jurisdiction?[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I thought the Minister was in America for a while.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] No.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] It is a different country.[Ferris, Martin] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [847] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] That is okay. Fair enough. Someone who lived in private rented accommodation would know how difficult it is to get a deposit back. If there is any little upset at all, one will not get the deposit back.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [848] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I apologise. I lived in Brussels.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [848] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I knew you were overseas.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [848] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Does Deputy Stanley understand English? He must not address the Minister or have a private conversation with him.[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [848] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Minister keeps engaging me in conversation.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [848] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] It is a rural thing.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [848] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] There is a pair of you in it.[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [848] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I was looking at you, Acting Chairman, but the Minister kept distracting me.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [848] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] All I can say is Deputy Stanley is easily distracted.[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [848] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] If there is any bit of a problem then the deposit will be withheld. I foresee considerable problems in that regard. Even at this late stage, I urge the Minister to withdraw the amendment.[Stanley, Brian] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [848] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I have a lot of points to which I wish to respond that have arisen in the course of the debate. It was good to see the pat on the back from Fine Gael for the Minister to thank him for not going on a different path. The Labour Party could have but it decided to go along the Fine Gael path t... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [848] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I am sorry. Does Deputy Murphy mean I got a pat on the back?[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [848] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Yes. Fine Gael patted the Minister on the back.[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [848] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] No.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [848] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I speak through the Chair, as is appropriate.[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [848] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Unlike the Minister.[Ferris, Martin] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [848] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The difference is that the Labour Party has broken its electoral mandate. That is something Labour Party members have a problem with in terms of Syriza, that its members are trying to stick to their electoral mandate and apparently that is not how things are done.
I wish to respond to som... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [848] | |

| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] -----and that the non-payment network in which I am involved, the We Won't Pay campaign, and the Right2Water campaign, are made up of anti-water charges campaigners, protesters, ordinary people involved in their local communities who have all regard for rule and reason. They are people who ... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [848] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The point is that the amendments are not being scrutinised in any sense seriously. By not allowing a committee to examine them properly, the Government is not allowing space to scrutinise them. It is anti-democratic. The introduction of water charges, in contravention of the Labour Party'... | Vol-885 Book-3 | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Deputy will not be talking about it. He will be sunning himself in Greece.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [850] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Although I will not be here, I will be voting on it and fighting in Greece against the same austerity agenda. I have confidence in the ability of Deputies Ruth Coppinger and Joe Higgins to talk along the same lines as I do.[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [850] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] We will miss the Deputy.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [850] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Bill that will be discussed tomorrow applies only to debts owed and judgments already given by the court of at least €500. This means that it will take two years of non-payment before the first of two court cases could take place. We are not hiding it from people. We are saying that i... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [850] | |

| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Would the Minister like to respond?[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [851] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Yes, we are going around in circles. One of my colleagues printed off the meter reading process published on the website, which shows exactly how one can read one's meter. Deputy Paul Murphy can use whatever language and sell whatever message he wants. It is his own business and I cannot ... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [851] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Minister had the same views before he was elected.[Ferris, Martin] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [851] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] We have many similar views within-----[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [851] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Minister's party did. He was not here.[Ferris, Martin] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [851] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Minister is on his feet.[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [851] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I thank the Deputy for the clarification. It is a fair point. The purpose of the Bill is to clarify who will be liable for water bills by setting out the respective responsibilities of landlords and tenants. If the landlord does not register the premises, he or she is liable for the bill.... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [851] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] They have missed the deadline.[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [851] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Minister is on his feet.[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [851] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Deputy was proposing this long before the deadline. I presume people have already lost their €100 grant because they followed his advice. I will not call them a gang or a cabal. His supporters or friends did not register and they have lost €100 as a result. They will get the default ... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [851] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I had already booked.[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [851] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] He is going to show solidarity with the biggest political climb-down in the history of modern Europe. I fundamentally disagree with the Deputy that he is being straight up with people by claiming they will never have to pay. I wish him luck in that regard.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [851] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] It is not what I said.[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [851] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I do not agree with how he has been conducting his business. He is leading people to the top of the hill and then he will blatantly abandon them. I look forward to the day when he runs out of cheques to pay the bills of all the people who come to his door because of the advice he gave them... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [851] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Obviously not.[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [852] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I sat down with their workers.[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [852] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Deputies can laugh but if major industries cannot plan on the basis of reliable and clean water supplies over the next 30 years, they will not invest in this country. That would impact on jobs and real people's lives. Would the Deputies feel a sense of responsibility to those people?
... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [852] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] He is going to anyway.[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [852] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I have to acknowledge that people in rural Ireland -----[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [852] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] He said all this already.[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [852] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] ----- work in an important agriculture and food production industry.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [852] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Is he to be allowed to be repetitive?[Coppinger, Ruth] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [852] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I am not repeating anything. I am answering Deputy Murphy's questions. I never saw him speak to rural people. I would be surprised if he even knows how to find the countryside.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [852] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I heard him say that before.[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [852] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I have not seen him speaking to large employers or those who work in water dependent agri-industries. I have not seen him visit group water schemes. In fact, I have not seen him pass the Red Cow roundabout.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [852] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] He must have said that five times already in this debate.[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [852] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] This is the first time I said it.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [852] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I have heard it many times before.[Murphy, Paul] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [853] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] It is the first time he heard me say it in this debate.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [853] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I remind the Minister that the Deputy represents a rural area behind Tallaght.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [853] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I forgot that. I withdraw everything.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [853] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I ask the Minister to conclude.[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [853] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Deputy will have to take responsibility for the misinformation he is giving out. He will disagree with me on that, of course, but he will be held to account for it when he is asked to pay the bills for the people he is misrepresenting.
I agree with him in regard to deposits. We are a... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [853] | |

In page 5, between lines 17 and 18, to insert the following:

| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] On a point of order, amendment No. 7, which I tabled, has been ruled out of order. I ask the Minister to listen for just a couple of minutes-----[Fitzmaurice, Michael] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [858] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] Absolutely not.[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [858] | |

| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] -----to go around and sell a few bags of timber or anything like that. Will the Minister consider this issue because it is a disgrace that youngsters are being treated this way?[Fitzmaurice, Michael] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [858] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Minister cannot consider it.[Mitchell, Olivia] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [858] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The Deputy is misinterpreting the legislation.[Kelly, Alan] | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [858] | |

| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I wanted to ask a number of things about this amendment. This is clearly an industry in which there has been a history of problems. I see Deputy Lawlor is leaving the Chamber, and if one takes Naas, for example, a mountain of waste was allowed to develop and it burned for weeks before the ... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [858] | |

In page 25, between lines 33 and 34, to insert the following:
“Amendment of section 10 of Act of 1996
33. Section 10 of the Act of 1996 is amended by—

| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] There are really three Bills in one. There is probably no difficulty with some of the provisions, but it would have been very helpful to have had a decent Second Stage debate to discuss some of the issues being addressed by way of amendments.
The waste industry has left a trail of destruc... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [861] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] I support the amendments. There is nothing that Deputy Catherine Murphy said with which I would not agree. Her points were very relevant and pertinent. In some ways, I have similar comments to make.
I congratulate the Minister on the overall legislation, including this amendment. He ... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [862] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] The fixed fine is a very good option. It must deal with illegal dumping and misconduct by alleged contractors.
We should lower the costs of waste collection at every conceivable opportunity. We all know how burdened our people are and the sacrifices they have had to make over the past fo... | Vol-885 Book-3 | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] When I looked at this, I tried to understand why we would be lowering a fine for breaches of waste collection legislation. Who is the Minister targeting? I assume he is not talking about large waste management companies with large contracts. I had the impression on reading it that he migh... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [863] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] One of the previous speakers mentioned composting. I am not too sure these amendments get to the heart of the matter. The heart of the matter with regard to waste is minimising what we produce. If we can minimise the problem we are creating in the first place, we are putting lasting solut... | Vol-885 Book-3 Page [863] | |
| 02/07/2015 | [Bills] We all want to get on top of this and to stamp it out.
