Joanna Tuffy (Dublin Mid West, Labour)

I bring the Minister's attention to the recent EPA report on the provision and quality of drinking water in Ireland for 2006 and 2007. As the Minister will know, the report indicated that 36% of our drinking water supplies require detailed profiling to determine whether the supply must be replaced or upgraded, or where operational practices must be improved to ensure the water supply to the public is clean and wholesome. This means a problem has been identified by the EPA with over one third of our water supply.
