I want to bring to the Tánaiste’s attention an urgent issue in my constituency of Meath West, namely, in Enfield, Ballivor and Longwood, where the water supply is constantly tripping and cutting off. This has been going on for a long time. Meath County Council have in place planning, design and the contract ready to move on with water and sewerage projects. All they are waiting on is €1.5 million funding from Irish Water. Can the Tánaiste write to Irish Water for a date as to when the funding for these projects will be approved? This is affecting thousands of households and businesses.

I am aware of the water problems at Enfield and Ballivor. The Minister of State, Deputy English, has also informed me of the problems in those areas. It is of course a decision for Irish Water as to whether it can go ahead with the necessary project, but I will certainly check out the situation for the Deputy.
