I could refer to other towns and areas, but I will zone in on Shannonvale specifically. It has been waiting 26 years for improvements, but there have been none. What is happening is destructive. Raw sewage is entering people’s drinking water pipelines. We cannot get an opportunity to sit down with Uisce Éireann. It blames the council and the council blames it. It is like a football game and the people are caught in the middle of it. Surely be to God there should be a facility open to public representatives when we have someone who is willing to invest and work with Uisce Éireann. What is happening is not fair.
