Residents in some
areas of Muff have been left without water several
times in recent days with another shortage reported
on Saturday.
The problem has been raised with Donegal County
Council and the Environment Minister, Dick Roche, by
Deputy Cecilia Keaveney, who says there's little
excuse for water shortages in Inishowen given the
level of funding currently available.
"Residents from the Muff area have contacted me to
outline their frustrations at the intermittent break
in water supply to their houses due to water
shortages," said Deputy Keaveney.
"I have raised their concerns with both Donegal
County Council and Minister Roche and I will be
discussing it with him further when the Dáil resumes
this week."
Deputy Keaveney said she wanted to see a speedy
resolution to the problem.
"There has never been as much funding available to
address infrastructure needs, so I can understand
the residents' frustration at the intermittent lack
of supply to their homes.
"I want to see local infrastructure projects
delivered quickly and effectively in Inishowen.
People need basic facilities and we have a duty to
ensure that they are provided," she added.
