This morning, RTÉ was in Enfield talking to people who are experiencing disruption to their water supply nearly every second day. This is affecting 10,000 people. Households and businesses are left with little or no water. People are at their wits' end. I raised this issue with the Tánaiste on 29 January, when he said he would contact Irish Water and get back to me, but I heard nothing. I again raised it with the Taoiseach on 16 June and he said that extra allocations were being made. When will the money for these reservoirs be released? Families and businesses are struggling and this cannot continue. If this was happening in the Tánaiste's area, it would not be allowed to continue. It cannot be allowed to continue for the people of Enfield, Longwood and Ballivor. When will we get a start date for the reservoirs in these towns and villages and when will the funding in that regard be released?
