Minister for Agriculture Simon Coveney said on RTÉ News at One that it would be a mistake to abolish Irish Water.
He said: “It would be a mistake to start reversing now what has been a difficult process to set up a single utility water service.”
The Cork South-Central TD claimed: “There are pleny of people in Ireland who think that paying for water is the right thing to do and 77% of people are currently paying for water, which says a lot.”
