Noel McCarthy (Cork East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I raise the urgent need for the water network servicing Ballyhooly in my constituency of Cork East to be repaired. Unfortunately, homes and businesses in Ballyhooly continue to experience regular water supply disruptions and low water pressure. This has resulted in residents being unable to conduct daily practices such as showering or washing clothes and dishes, making living conditions unbearable. I understand that Uisce Éireann has identified and repaired network leaks and implemented remedial measures. However, the issue persists. Does the Taoiseach agree that this situation should not have arisen in the first place and that, having persisted for so long, it must be addressed as a matter of urgency? Will he intervene directly with Uisce Éireann to see what can be done to fix this once and for all?
