The current situation is that 35 people are living there, including seven children, there is a tap that could be fixed, and Uisce Éireann has agreed to take that cost. It is just awaiting written permission from Waterways Ireland so those families can access water, which is a human right. Does Mr. Rowe not think that needs urgent action? This has been going on for years. Will he give a commitment to give that written permission to Uisce Éireann so those families can access water?
