Mr. Keith Hyland:

I joined the Public Water Forum to replace a previous member who had left. I do not know the reason they left. I joined seven or eight months ago. It is not too onerous. We meet approximately once every six weeks. It probably takes up a full day between preparation, the meeting, thinking about it afterwards and digesting any reading one might wish to do. It is time I am very willing to give. It is fascinating. I came to it with a particular point of view on the issue, but through education, experience and listening to the CER, Irish Water and other people who have spoken to us my view is changing and evolving. I believe I have a good role on the forum and I am delighted to be able to contribute.
