The Taoiseach also says that 'no-one wants a second election.'

Enda Kenny says that people should pay their water bills and that it would be a mistake to move away from a single national utility for water. The Fine Gael leader was speaking at a 1916 commemoration at Collins Barracks in Dublin. https://twitter.com/rtenews/status/705023467716882432 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." Kenny also said that he was prepared to speak to all parties, including the Fianna Fáil leadership, about forming a government. Fine Gael won 49 Dáil seats in the General Election, just five more than Fianna Fáil's total of 44.
