Jack Chambers (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. I regret that households and businesses have been seriously and repeatedly impacted by this. I will certainly relay that to Irish Water. I received just a brief update on this before I entered the Chamber. I know there is work ongoing to ensure it is part of the mains replacement project. I will ask for a more detailed response to issue to the Deputy. I appreciate that this issue should not be arising repeatedly, particularly with the capital uplift we are giving to water infrastructure across our economy. We need to ensure there is a quicker delivery and a better response to communities that are affected by such issues.
