Lead in water was an issue when I was a member of South Dublin County Council. The problem should have been corrected ages ago.

Affordability is the most important issue. The Minister has ensured improvements will be made in every statement he has made. The Government has listened and now the €100 conservation grant will help people to conserve water. There is also a €160 charge which means it will cost just €1.15 per week or €3 for a couple. Charges will be capped at €1.85 per 1,000 litres of water supplied and €3.70 for 1,000 litres of water and wastewater removed.
