Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Is the Taoiseach aware that there is a no swim notice in place on three beaches in my constituency - Velvet Strand, Portmarnock, front strand, Balbriggan and south beach, Skerries? Is there anything in the forthcoming legislative programme - I note, in particular, the water services Bill and the maritime area and foreshore (amendment) Bill - which will increase the powers of Irish Water to address this matter and ensure it will not happen again?

The Taoiseach was given the opportunity to apologise to Amanda Mellett. With the women of Ireland, we would like him to take that opportunity.
