Water quality report not acted upon, say Greens

A SCATHING EU report which criticised the quality of water across the country has not been acted upon four months after its publication, according to the Green Party’s deputy leader.

Kilkenny Borough Council, in particular, has not acted on the EU Petitions Group report, which found the quality of drinking water in the city was not up to scratch, according to Cllr Mary White.

But Kilkenny County Council rejects the councillor’s claims, saying she has not even contacted the local authority for an update and is fighting this campaign through the media.
