David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have raised this issue on a number of occasions. Since 2016, a boil water notice has been in place in west Cork, affecting 9,000 customers. To buy bottled water costs between €500 and €1,000 per annum per household, when water should be free. It will be another two years before this issue will be resolved. I understand the UK is introducing a compensation scheme when this happens. The Minister, Deputy O'Brien, recently told me that he is considering such a scheme in this jurisdiction. Can the Minister report on further developments in the House today?
