Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

I thank the Tánaiste for his clarity in stating that there will not be a ban on cross-Border travel.
The Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, has stated that the outlook for the environment in Ireland is not good unless all sectors are addressed. I would like to discuss Irish Water. There are 113 priorities for dealing with pollution. Raw sewage is being pumped into the water in 35 towns and villages, including Omeath. There are no plans to deal with 33 of these until after next year. This is not on. What interaction will the Government have with Irish Water to deal with this?
