Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Developments in the Water Sector: Discussion

Mr. Darragh Page:

It is difficult to trace it directly back to drinking water supplies, particularly public water supplies. We know there have been some concerns in Lough Talt where the supply is on a boil water notice and will remain on one until the supply is upgraded. The Health Protection Surveillance Centre gathers statistics on incidents of illnesses and traces them back to determine where they are associated with water supplies. We have not been made aware of any related to public water supplies. There are incidents that are linked and associated with private wells but not directly with public water supplies that we are aware of.
