The Taoiseach says he wants to make sure Irish Water can never be sold to a private company.

He's told the Dail that the Government will bring in legislation to strengthen protections already in place.

Environment Minister Alan Kelly will announce the new measures for the public in the Dail at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

However, Enda Kenny's refused to put the issue to a referendum:

"The Minister for the Environment will bring forward primary legislation to strengthen and bolster the position here in so far as the constitution is concerned. So that Irish Water will be retained in public ownership and will never be privatised."
