Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

I absolutely answer the questions, "Yes", on both counts. Irish Water has to resolve this issue and be fully transparent about what has happened in this instance. It has to resolve it and be open, honest and upfront with the people of Cork as to why they are seeing discoloured water coming out of their taps. There is no difference between us on that. I agree 100%. All the regulatory authorities have to make sure that is done in a proper, legal and swift manner. The Government commits to supporting that process. I do not agree about Irish Water being a privatised organisation.
