Mr. Thomas Carney:

They do not talk to each other. They do not get along. Irish Water blames the council and the council blames Irish Water. In December, we were having a meeting and I emphasised that Irish Water had to be there along with the council so they are both on the one page. Irish Water, in an email, said it was not informed. We sent out an agenda on the points that we had to get discussed.

Furthermore, when I was calling Irish Water, I was told there was an office in Castlebar. After being frustrated, I went back to the office and I thought that, for sure, if I walked into the hall and talked to somebody, something would be done. I did not know that it is a shell. There is nobody in the office. A security guard came out and told me there had been nobody in the office for years and that I had to call Cork because there was nobody there. I have been told another story by Irish Water. It is like a dog chasing his tail.
