Killorglin water outages

Summary

Deputy Healy-Rae highlights repeated water failures in Killorglin while residents are charged for services they do not receive. The issue prompts criticism of local infrastructure and political exchanges before the Chair moves on.

With regard to the local property tax legislation and the Water Services (No. 2) Bill, the Tánaiste was quick to ensure he would get as much money as he could from people, but for the fifth time since Christmas the great town of Killorglin has no water today.

That is why it is so important to get Irish Water up and running.

The Tánaiste might state it is not of much interest to him but it is very important for the people of Killorglin.

It is a very important issue for the people of Killorglin, but the Deputy cannot raise it on the Order of Business.

I want to highlight what is happening in our country.

Thank you Deputy, I think you have made your point.

People are being charged for a service they do not have.

That is why we are establishing Irish Water.

It makes the case for the establishment of Irish Water. People who have been on Kerry County Council for a very long period of time have questions to answer as to why the people of Killorglin do not have water and why the system does not operate.

Who got the contract to lay the pipes? Were the pipes burst?

We have only eight minutes left and the Deputies have had their say.

Let Deputy Kehoe repeat what he said outside the House.

He should repeat what he said outside the House. He passes insulting remarks all the time.

It is water under the bridge.
