Maidir le hUisce Éireann, cad a dhéanfaimid feasta gan uisce? The situation in south Tipperary has reached crisis point. Since January, the Ardfinnan regional water scheme has experienced 58 water supply interruptions, affecting 11,000 customers, while almost 28,000 homes and businesses were placed on a boil water notice in a single week. The water is consistently off. Tipperary town has been under a boil water notice since last February. There is no sign of it being lifted. One constituent summed up the frustration, telling me that there was yet again no water pressure when the house was full of grandchildren. The attic tank was not filling, so there was no water for cooking, showers or washing clothes. All of this was happening before the introduction of a hosepipe ban. They say it would be great to have water to be affected by a hosepipe ban. Uisce Éireann is totally out of control. Two weeks ago, the Tánaiste gave me some hope here that the Government might do something. Uisce Éireann is not acting for anybody. It is committing sabotage on the Ardfinnan regional water scheme and the Glenary plant in Clonmel. It is now going on to the Galtees and causing havoc. The reservoirs have not been full in about two and half years despite Uisce Éireann getting tens of millions.
