Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

It will be brief. What lessons have been learned such that we can deal with any further emergency in terms of water supplies? I refer to the salt and grit levels. Have stocks been fully replenished and has there been a full evaluation of whether the size of the supplies and the stock on hand is large enough to deal with another bad winter? What steps have been taken to ensure this is the case? No criticism of local authorities or voluntary services was intended in my earlier question. The question was whether we could deal with another crisis in terms of water if the engineers were not available because of the public service embargo.
