The system is in bad shape in many parts of the country. In my constituency, the town of Trim has been hammered with either water blockages or the water being switched off at night-time such that when people turn on the taps they get dirty water, due to these constant changes. Trucks are being used to deliver water to places like Ballivor and Clonard on a regular basis. The State is struggling with its two responsibilities of keeping the lights on and having water in the taps and it will also take a long period to fix the problems.
