James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

There is a general neglect. Witnesses in several towns in my county have told me the water has been switched off because there is a very poor supply. Some of our water systems are badly contaminated and some of the bottled water that is served up and sold is also contaminated. The Minister has not addressed that. I would appreciate if the Minister would address those issues. Never mind huffing and puffing about what he intends to do; he should do it now.
