I appreciate that a lot of the funding Uisce Éireann has received needs to be directed towards housing delivery and that this is a top priority. Rehabilitating water mains that constantly burst needs to be a priority as well. Co-ordinating with the local authorities is critically important. If a road has been resurfaced and then Uisce Éireann has to dig it up, there are obligations on it to resurface that road to a high standard. It really is doubling the work. Mr. Laffey sees tangible improvements in this area.
