It is not my fault, as a consumer, that the bulk of the water I use domestically, which has been treated, ends up being flushed into the system as opposed to being consumed. Dr. Collins mentioned €215 million being spent on bottled water. As a student in France at the age of 14, I found it hilarious that French people drank bottled water. What caused the shift among Irish people towards the consumption of bottled water? Dr. Collins's point was hinting that although we were not prepared to pay water charges, look how much we pay for bottled water. Why do we use bottled water? When I was a kid, one filled a bottle with water and brought it somewhere. What does that say?
Dr. Collins said the forum had discussions with a Minister. Which Minister has the forum discussed it with?
