May I ask a question?
How come 26 European countries are paying for their water and Ireland is not?
That's what I'd like to know.
Ireland is paying for its water.
Ireland is paying for its water every single day.
I'm paying for it.
You're paying for it every... I'm paying you back for what you're paying.
We are paying for our water indirectly.
Not directly, but indirectly we're paying for it.
What you're suggesting is that maybe we should pay for it twice or three times or four times.
No, no, no.
Please listen for a moment.
I am paying all those other things in France that you're talking about in Ireland.
I have two bills, two homes.
OK, I'm paying exactly the same other bills, plus the water here, plus 26 countries are paying for their water.
Now, are the 26 countries stupid?
Should they be looking up to Ireland and saying, what a smart little country?
Yes, Ireland is probably the most progressive country in Europe as regards water, because we do not have a water shortage in Ireland.
The only reason why we don't have a water shortage is because we don't pay for water.
No, we don't.
