I want to raise with the Taoiseach the frequency and duration of outages in the Keel-Inch water mains network.

Householders and businesses had a terrible weekend last weekend. This occurs more and more often on the network. The asbestos cement, AC, pipe between the Ballyarkane reservoir and the R561 is badly in need of replacement, but there is no plan by Uisce Éireann to do it at present. There is a terrible network in the Farran-Boolteens area. It could be months before that is replaced. Greater urgency is needed from Irish Water, when it comes to cases such as this, which occur over and again. I ask for an intervention to ensure this happens to spare the householders the misery they are going through at present.
