218 Deputy Joe Carey asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the persistent problems with the new €9.8 million water treatment plant in Ennis, County Clare, which he officially opened this year; if his further attention has been drawn to the fact that fire tenders and other tankers are being used to transport water from other water sources to feed into the Ennis supply in a bid to satisfy demand for water for the 30,000 persons depending on the Ennis water supply; his views that this practice is unsustainable and that it places undue pressure on other valuable resources and if so, his further views that the Ennis water augmentation scheme must now be prioritised as it will deliver an alternative water supply to Ennis and its environs; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
