Ms Deirdre Lavin:

Today, one of our inspectors is out in Touraneena doing an audit. That boil water notice was in place for a few weeks back in September. If that inspection determines that further enforcement action is required to identify a problem that could recur and needs to have a solution in place, then we will assess that when the audit report is completed and we have gone through the due process of doing that. If we need to take further enforcement actions such as placing it on our remedial action list or issuing a direction to Irish Water, we will do so once we get the findings of today's audit back to us.

On the other estate on a long-term boil water notice since February, there is a plan in place to connect it. That will be in 2023. That boil water notice is necessary to protect public health because there is poor turbidity removal there and, therefore, it is a necessary measure. The long-term plan is to rationalise that supply - to do away with it - and connect to Cappoquin.
