-----Uisce Éireann's investment for Clonmel and its communication strategy and engagement practices with local elected representatives. My own experience has been that this is improving, and has been improving, particularly over the last year. I also understand that Uisce Éireann has provided comprehensive details on the Clonmel outages to the Clonmel business association last week, and further, provided briefings to Oireachtas Members and Tipperary County Council water services at a workshop last week. This is more proactive. I know historically that Deputies have raised issues around Uisce Éireann's communication but I think it is improving. Deputy McGrath will challenge that but I think it is improving.

Regarding long-term plans, Uisce Éireann is running a public consultation on the regional water resources plan for the south-east region, and this includes part of Tipperary. The plan sets out options for providing a more secure, reliable and sustainable water supply for almost 370,000 customers-----
