Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

With due respect to the family plant hire business of the Healy-Raes, some of the group water schemes - although, of course, not in Kerry - were put in place by contractors that did not measure up to the standard. That is the reason they have been in trouble for a long time.

The Deputy is aware that the Government and the Department had a scheme to put local group schemes together, to measure up to standards where metering was installed, where water was saved and costs were reduced. People were much happier as a consequence. That scheme is continuing. I assume that if the Deputy contacts his local authority together with Irish Water and the Department's housing and planning unit, they will indicate the strategy for schemes that are intended to be brought up to standard so that people can have a high quality system.
