Issues Affecting the Quality of Water: Discussion
Dr. Michelle Minihan:
On the timeliness question, Irish Water is required to notify us by 11 a.m. on the day following an incident, and it did so in a timely manner. We are satisfied with the timeliness following the October incident. It has to gather a certain amount of information to be able to have an informed discussion with us and the HSE, and in order that we can fully understand the risk and consider what actions need to be taken to mitigate the risk and to address what has happened at the plant.
