A local TD has challenged the Tánaiste about 'misleading the public' on investment in wastewater infrastructure.
It follows the announcement of €1bn for Irish Water to support increased housing supply.
But Sinn Féin TD Louis O'Hara claims it's not additional funding but a different way to fund the current programme.
Tánaiste Simon Harris in response insisted the €1 billion is additional funding, but acknowleged that more invested is needed.
Deputy Louis O'Hara said he can deny the funding - but not the reality on the ground.
