Mr. Byrne mentioned Irish Water. I have a question about what happens when water quality is not sufficient and there is a "water off" notice. There was a recent experience in Blackrock where an area had no water for 12 days. I appreciate that this is more in the domain of Irish Water. However, I do not understand and am not happy that after 12 days residents were told that water was safe to drink again, but no explanation was given to them. From the EPA's perspective, surely that is not sufficient.
