I thank the Chair and the witnesses. I am not being parochial even though I could probably be accused of being so in referencing some areas in my constituency in County Waterford but what I am trying to do is tease out the process that occurs when an issue is identified and what stages are followed to remediate the issue. It was stated to the HSE that 30 days was a significant time. An estate in Kilmeaden, County Waterford has been on a boil water notice since February this year. Another in Touraneena has been on a boil water notice since 7 September. Will the witnesses talk me through the process from when the alert is sent out? Of course, everybody gets that. It is Irish Water's issue to resolve, and I will tease that out with them. What in the process is done, either from the HSE's or the EPA's perspective, specifically on the boil water notices?
