Yes, I see that. In Irish Water 30 days is considered a long time for a boil water notice. Is there any reflection or report done afterwards or any accountability when a boil water notice is implemented? For example, regarding the boil water notice in Longford, is there anything we can say to the public that it will never happen again and that steps have been taken to ensure whatever transgressions occurred there in water quality, safeguards are in place? Do we learn from them or do we just deal with them, move on and not take any actions?
