Seanad: Water Services: Motion (12 Jan 2011)

Ciarán Cannon: ...should be aware of their own policy on the matter. A rather farcical situation arose in County Galway last year when hundreds of acres of land was under water but no water was coming through our taps at the same time. The situation was not the same this time because the freeze up created most of our problems. Every cubic metre of water that goes into most households in the country is...

Ciarán Cannon: ...of Senators, told a very difficult story. It found that 43% of the valuable water we produce is simply unaccounted for.

Ciarán Cannon: ...working in other countries and could work here. The bottom line is that we urgently need some radical thought applied to the credit crisis, as waiting another 12 or 24 months for the credit tap to be turned back on is simply not feasible.

Ciarán Cannon: ..., in particular, to improve liquidity. We cannot expect Irish business to be able to flourish in an environment where there is no liquidity and where banks would have no choice but to turn off the taps on entrepreneurial effort.
