John Gormley (Dublin South East, Green Party)

The Deputy will appreciate this is a matter primarily for the Dublin local authorities. As a Dublin Deputy I too have an interest in the matter. It is essential information is posted on, say, websites so that people know when shortages and low pressure will occur. Most areas have been sorted. I know from the Sandymount area and others, that were left without water for a considerable time which caused inconvenience to people, that at night time there continue to be difficulties. That is why I have set out in the new water services investment programme my intention to invest in mains rehabilitation and water conservation projects. I will be assisting all local authorities in this, not just the Dublin ones.
