The community is justifiably aggrieved with regard to how Uisce Éireann has managed this project. There have been numerous commitments with regard to its delivery. A commitment was made that it would be completed in 2023. It was subsequently promised in 2025. Now there is a starting delay to 2026 for initiation, with completion projected for 2028. How can this happen with regard to commitments previously made? People will have to wait five years while raw sewage is introduced into the Clew Bay water system. It is completely unacceptable. How can we resolve this issue?
