Micheál Martin (Cork South-Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

First of all, I congratulate Deputy Timmins on his election for the first time to Dáil Éireann. The programme for Government is clear in its commitment to roads. Obviously, the updated national development plan will be an opportunity to try to identify our priorities. We understand that with the growth of population in Wicklow and so forth there are huge needs, particularly on the roads side and with the DART.

Deputy O'Sullivan is correct when he says that the significant discolouration of water across the north side of the city of Cork has caused much distress to householders. There should be full transparency for all State agencies, including Irish Water. I will take up the matter with Irish Water on the Deputy's behalf.
