Michelle Mulherin (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I very much welcome the work that has been done to date, particularly the recommendations of the national rural water services committee, but there is a time for action. I want to know whether Mayo County Council will have to send back the funding and whether we will see some movement on the seven schemes in Mayo that have been in limbo since 2010. The total shortfall to deliver water to the 235 houses is estimated at €662,346. Will there be some solution before the end of the year? Can some hope be given to these people? We have a vision for everyone else through Irish Water and these people are left in limbo.
