It is not because of a lack of investment. The investment has been made in the first part of the scheme. However, Irish Water is planning to scrap the second part of the scheme. Who is in charge of telling the people their water is contaminated and carcinogenic? We are told with the level of THM in the water in Carraroe, that over a long period of time it is carcinogenic. Irish Water will not give us an answer. The county council tells us to go to the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA. The EPA says it is a question for Irish Water. It is going round in circles. Who is in charge of public health and responsible for keeping people informed?
