Disagreement Over Makeup Of Water Committee

The Government has proposed a committee of 20 TDs and Senators to examine the expert commission report on the future of water charges. The newly established committee will have three months to debate the report once they receive it - it's expected at the end of this month. Housing Minister Simon Coveney has sent a proposal to the business committee of the Dáil suggesting five government TDs, four from Fianna Fáil, two from Sinn Féin and one each from the other groupings, along with four senators.
