Water Policy: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2022-11-09
============================================================

Brendan Howlin (LAB), Wexford

I am sure he was an excellent contractor, if he had only come quickly. My issue was not the work but rather the alacrity with which it was done. As I said, we will leave these matters to the negotiations of the trade union movement. My concern is that when the full work is transferred to the single utility, Uisce Éireann, we do not compound the problem. There were 50 individual leaks on Coolballow Road in Wexford and there had to be a campaign before action was taken. We need to do better.
