Dan Boyle (Cork South Central, Green Party)

I seek leave to move a motion for the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following matter of public concern: that the Minister for the Environment and Local Government makes a statement to the House on the deteriorating quality of drinking water, and its supply, in Ennis, County Clare; as less than confident information is being given to the people of that town, urging that the very young and the very old should not consume this water and giving an extremely weak commitment that the quality of the drinking water cannot be restored for another two years.
