We all want the Minister to inform the House of an indicative timeline as to when these issues might be resolved. Does the Minister believe the independent regulator should undertake an assessment of the planning process and the response of Irish Water to this event, both to examine recent weeks and to ensure it will be resolved for the future? Will the Minister respond to my question relating to the delay in setting up the water advisory board? It has not been put in place. What is the delay and when will it be put in place so as to adhere to the Dáil direction almost a year ago?
