There have been boil notices affecting the Castlerea urban and rural schemes for three years. A boil notice has been in place in south Roscommon for six months. From what I am told, it will be a number of months before any of these issues is resolved. There was a similar situation in the case of the Roscommon central supply this time last year and within eight weeks a solution was put in place. It was a temporary solution but a solution nonetheless. I know about the specific engineering problem in Boyle, but it does not arise in Castlerea or Kileglan Springs in south Roscommon. Why can people in Castlerea and south Roscommon not have a temporary solution, pending introduction of a long-term solution, as in the case of the Roscommon central supply?
