In recent weeks the House debated the failure of Irish Water to provide a service for the 600,000 people affected by the boil water notice. I wish to highlight, not for the first time, another failure of Irish Water. In Athlone town the water supply has been turned off more often at night than it has been on in the last quarter. This is having a devastating effect on people who are trying to run businesses and parents who are trying to rear their families. The council has been advised that there is no plan to upgrade the treatment plant in the next three years. I have raised this matter twice on the Order of Business and been assured that the relevant Minister will get back to me directly, but that has not happened.
