Issues Affecting the Quality of Water: Discussion

I am conscious that we are running late so I will not ask questions that have been asked. A related issue on this water line occurred in Kilcloon last year when there was an excess of chlorine and an EPA report followed that. Are our guests confident that issue in the Boyne water network has been followed up and dealt with?

I am not sure they can comment on another issue of interest to me. I raised this in the Dáil just before the original boil notice was lifted. The Minister seemed to be aware that certain things that were meant to have been done last September were not done. He said he was waiting for the report and that we would then know if certain things were done. Was that spoken about in the past few months? Was there an awareness of failings in the system among the interested parties?
