We have had the wettest March on record with a huge amount of rain, but in Ratoath and Ashbourne we have consistent problems with water outages, shortages and restrictions. There is an investment programme. It is late, but it is welcome. The issue I will raise is Uisce Éireann's engagement with public representatives, local businesses, local communities, families, householders and children with disabilities. There is a charter in place but its engagement is wholly inadequate. Its support for communities when there are outages is wholly inadequate. Does the Tánaiste agree and, if so, what will he do about it?
