Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Issues Surrounding Water Quality and Supply: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Joe Flaherty: The EPA mentioned a drinking water quality report which will be published next week. It seems an inordinate length of time to wait for a 2021 report.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Issues Surrounding Water Quality and Supply: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Joe Flaherty: The HSE boil water notices are a huge issue when they happen.
