In relation to the supply of clean drinkable bottled water, and I asked this already at our previous meetings in Cork, I am formally asking Uisce Éireann to supply clean bottled drinking water to the impacted communities. We can work with community centres, the GAA and other sporting organisations, the meals-on-wheels service, etc., to distribute it. If we look at the sample of water I brought with me, it will be seen there is rust and dirt in it. I believe Uisce Éireann has a duty to supply clean drinking water. If we are looking at this problem being resolved by November, or some areas being done earlier, I think bottled water should be supplied until this happens. Is that not a reasonable request?
