Pádraig O'Sullivan (Cork North-Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I know the Taoiseach is aware of the ongoing issues with water on the north side of Cork city. He did a lot of canvassing there during the recent election. In many households, he was shown brown and discoloured water. Many particles are visible in people's water supply. I am not sure whether he saw the "Prime Time Investigates" programme last week, but it truly is an eye-opener. He needs to see it. It is available on the RTÉ player if he has not. It shows that above all else, Irish Water needs to be transparent and open about what is actually going on on the north side of the city. On its website it currently shows that it is 100% compliant, but the investigations done in the programme clearly show this is not the case. I ask the Taoiseach to intervene if he can and to talk to Irish Water to make sure it is transparent with the information, at the very least. If the water is not drinkable and useable, as has been the case on many occasions during the last two years, it should supply an alternative for people because it has not done so yet.
