Johnny Guirke (Meath West, Sinn Fein)

It is time to prioritise investment and proper planning to prevent future crises and to support the communities that rely on our water systems every day. From my experience of Uisce Éireann in recent years, I can say that its customer service for elected Members is very poor. A Member could send it an email and receive no reply, despite repeated follow-ups. As I have said before, Uisce Éireann is hard to deal with. Elected Members need to be treated with priority. If we ask it questions, we are representing our constituents in many cases, who want answers from us.
