I raise the issue of Uisce Éireann and the lack of meaningful engagement it has with the public and public representatives. I have had a number of dealings with it recently, most notably on James Larkin Road where it is doing an important project. While there has been engagement with public representatives, there has been no meaningful reaction to the problems raised about the traffic chaos on the Howth Road and on the way into Raheny village. A number of suggestions have been put forward to Uisce Éireann.

In the Mask area of Artane, there is severe discolouration of water in households. Uisce Éireann sent someone out, but the water appeared discoloured again a number of hours later. When this was raised with Uisce Éireann, it said that the issue had been resolved. It is extremely frustrating dealing with Uisce Éireann. It seems to be accountable to no one, in particular public representatives. Something must change.

I thank the Deputy very much for raising the issue. He said that there had been engagement but the responses had not been effective or impactful. I will take the matter up with Uisce Éireann. It has established a unit on the effectiveness of communications with public representatives. I have brought this to the attention of Uisce Éireann, as has the Minister, and it has undertaken a review of engagement with elected representatives with input from across its entire business. That is due to conclude shortly. That is a general point about how it engages with public representatives, including Members of this House.

On the specifics, I have had engagement in the past on matters of the kind the Deputy raised. I did get a response ultimately. It was quite a few years ago. It was about residential concerns, disruptions and so on that could happen when major works were under way. I will engage with the company to see if we can get an improvement from the Deputy's perspective.
