Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We cannot continue to attempt to portray Ireland as being up to standard in terms of water supply and delivery when 20,000 people have boil-water notices every day and Dublin's water supply is operated at 96% capacity and the city cannot afford any blip in the system. We must and will deal with this issue.

The issues that have been raised by the Labour Party, Fine Gael and other members outside need consideration and they are being given consideration. I confirm to Deputy Adams that the discussions we are having are genuinely constructive and making real progress. We hope to have the matter clarified and finalised quickly in the interests of everybody.
