A Junior Minister says we have to get the full story on Irish Water's bonus scheme.
It follows weekend revelations about what the company calls its "performance related awards scheme".
Fianna Fail wants the government to block the payments, believed to be worth up to 19 per cent of some employees' salaries.
Minister Damien English says he doesn't believe people's water bills will go up to cover the cost of the payments, but we still have to get the full details.
Meanwhile, the organisers of a protest in Ennis, which saw nearly 1,000 people express their opposition to Irish Water, have called on the government to heed their calls.
Hundreds marched through the town centre on Saturday afternoon, demanding a reversal of water charges, while many said they simply wouldn't pay.
