Inquiry to probe Galway water crisis
Galway City Council members agreed on the draft terms of reference for an inquiry at a meeting on Monday night. Councillors have been given until the end of February to submit changes they would like to see made to the terms of reference. The council will then open a public procurement process and put out a tender to seek an independent consultant to carry out the inquiry. Their main task will be to investigate efforts by some members of the council to decommission the Terryland treatment plant before the outbreak.
The plant had an inferior infiltration system which was blamed for the presence of cryptosporidium in the water that came out of taps in 45,000 households in the city and county.
