James O'Connor (Cork East, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

As east Cork residents are continuously hit with long-lasting water outages and boil water notices, can we see a commitment from the Government that the new Whitegate water treatment facility, which Deputy Stanton and I have worked very hard to deliver, will be delivered, and also some focus on water outages in Ballyhooly? I acknowledge the huge frustration being caused locally for people we represent.

The year 1997, the year Deputy Stanton was elected to the House, was the year I was born. I wish him a happy retirement with his family as he stands down before the upcoming election.
